The Net Effect Marks 25 Years

Mobile-based The Net Effect, LLC, recently celebrated 25 years of business. The independent consulting firm helps clients integrate security and compliance into their existing business processes. Security assessments, remediation plans and awareness training for employees form the basis of the company’s work for clients in industries ranging from retail to financial services to defense contractors. President, Lead Consultant and Project Manager Glenda R. Snodgrass explained, “We started this company in 1996 with a focus on information security, as we realized that bringing the Internet into offices and homes would change things in a big way—but I’m not sure even we realized just how big those changes would be! Cybercrime has exploded in the past few years, ransomware in particular, and businesses are under increasing pressure from customers to secure their data. The number and complexity of cybersecurity compliance requirements is growing across all industries, and supply-chain risk management is one of the hottest topics today. Having an independent consulting firm work with your IT people to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture is the best way to future-proof your business.”
