IRVINE, Calif., April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The CannaBusiness
Group, Inc (OTC: CBGI) announced today that its subsidiary National
Security Solutions, Inc. hired Stuart
Volkow as the Chief Technology Officer to oversee and
operate the Cyber–Security Division.
Our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend
on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace. We rely on this vast
array of networks to communicate and travel, power our homes, run
our economy, and provide government services. Yet cyber intrusions
and attacks have increased dramatically over the last decade,
exposing sensitive personal and business information, disrupting
critical operations, and imposing high costs on the economy.
Information security issues – such as data breaches or employee
misconduct – are a constant challenge for C-suite leaders as well
as for the front-line managers in your organization. Cyber security
challenges not only put sensitive data at risk, but can also cost
your company time, revenue, and resources. No one is immune to data
loss incidents – and no one is better equipped than NSS to help you
identify and close gaps that put your organization's cyber security
at risk.
At NSS, we know securing and managing electronically stored
information (ESI) is critical to the future of your business. From
information risk assessments that help you benchmark safety
measures and shore-up weaknesses, to penetration testing that
checks for robust defenses, our global team delivers scalable cyber
security solutions to help you protect confidential and proprietary
information from data security risks such as malicious insiders,
network vulnerabilities, and inadequate security policies.
