Welcome to Critical Identity

According to statistics from IDC, data use is expected to grow by as much as 44 times, amounting to some 35.2 zettabytes -- a billion terabytes globally by 2020. Simultaneously, the next generation of criminally motivated Advanced Persistent Threats, put this data at greater risk than ever before.

At Critical Identity our philosophy is that "offense must inform defense." In other words, effective defenses can only be built after gaining insight into how actual attacks have compromised systems.

We make use of the latest Digital Forensic Science to investigate successful cyber crime attacks. It is our experience, that focusing on the most critical risk areas, results in the biggest security payoff.

The Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report series, analysed over 1,700 serious incidents & concluded that 98% of breaches occur at the server level. This is therefore where we focus our solutions.
