How do you know you can trust the systems that your business relies on? How do you know that your staff is well trained and cyber resilient? How do you know the cybersecurity partners you have chosen are the right and trusted parties? These are all questions that are at the heart of what Neuvik is solving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2021 in the US, Neuvik<\/a> is opening their first international office at HSD Campus<\/a> in The Hague. Ryan Leirvik<\/a> Co-Founder and CEO of Neuvik sees their mission directly in line with that of The Hague, the International City of Peace and Justice. In the world of Information Technology, ethics and legal issues matter. Ryan and Neuvik work to \u201callow people peace and to provide solutions that bring  justice to those that try to disrupt the peace in the digital world,\u201d as he mentioned their alignment with the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built by experienced professionals within the cybersecurity space including authors and SANS<\/a> trainers, Neuvik is taking a high-level and detailed approach to the cybersecurity landscape. Neuvik, like many cybersecurity companies, is working to solve clients\u2019 security challenges, but they are going a step further. This involves identifying and resolving root causes of security problems and preventing them from resurfacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Selander<\/a>, Marketing Coordinator for Neuvik, said it best: \u201cThrough understanding each client\u2019s unique landscape, we can create lasting change that intersects at all aspects of their business.\u201d Ryan broke down most organisations\u2019 issues into three parts: finding vulnerabilities, training practitioners, and managing risk. Their team of founders is passionate about and perfectly suited to each of these issues. Jean-Francois Maes<\/a>, Director of Advanced Assessments in the EU, together with David Mayer<\/a>, Managing Director of Advanced Assessments, lead red teams that include researchers like Moses Frost<\/a> to find vulnerabilities. Tillery<\/a>, Director of Training and Education, trains teams to make sure those vulnerabilities are not recreated. And Ryan himself makes sure businesses understand what it means for them, making sure the impact of each risk is understood within a business\u2019s context. Neuvik is \u201cconstantly trying to give our clients confidence in the systems that they rely on so that they may go about the business they are in,\u201d as Ryan mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently under 25 employees and growing, Neuvik has a business philosophy unlike many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan relayed that they are \u201cnot just in it for ourselves, we\u2019re in it for the community. We put our clients first and then teach and educate those who can build resilience in their own organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mindset made coming to The Hague an obvious choice after a long search looking at potential landing spots across the EU. The Hague\u2019s heritage as a city focused on peace and justice<\/a> for over 100 years has made it an attractive destination, allowing for the growth of a flourishing cybersecurity ecosystem. Neuvik prides themselves on confidentiality and does not disclose any of their clients. They were able to mention that they already work with many EU based clients, some of which are requiring them to work within the EU ecosphere. Their team of technical cybersecurity leaders and certified SANS instructors will add to the growing strength of Zuid-Holland\u2019s cybersecurity ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neuvik attended RSA<\/a> this year where they aimed to connect with potential clients and likeminded members of the cybersecurity community. With a focus on discussing opportunities to continuously solve the cybersecurity problem, Neuvik is looking for truly innovative answers. They are attending conferences throughout the year and will be at ONE Conference<\/a> in The Hague where they will potentially be giving multiple talks and presentations. This helps to further Neuvik\u2019s mission, where Ryan discussed their goal to \u201cconstantly learn and innovate, while teaching the next generation of cybersecurity defenders.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
