In this day and age of revolutionary technologies, our beloved planet is succumbing more and more under the dependency of the web. Such is the situation that we cannot even carry out a simple task without the aid of the internet. But recently, a few rouge attacks on the internet paralyzed the communication chain of the web, evoking fear among the minds of the users concerning the safety of their information. To fight against such incidents with its managed cyber security solutions, onShore Security came into existence in 1991.
The core of what onShore Security does is its Panoptic Cyberdefense Security Operations Center. The company collects data throughout the network and hosts, which it analyzes on an ongoing basis. This is done to look for threats, anomalies, and compliance to inform policy and evaluate security posture. onShore also provides Cyber-security Leadership services such as virtual CISO and CISO mentoring.

Eventually, the client receives high visibility and a rich understanding of their security posture.
The company offers four services related to security, they are as follows:

Graduating from the University of Chicago in 1988 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Stelios held various technical positions back there. Currently, he serves on the board of ACLU of Illinois and advisory boards and committees for several other organizations and companies.

onShore and its Satisfied Clients
“We are always improving our offering and providing additional value. We also customize data collection and reporting for our clients making it easier for them to present to their board of directors,” exclaims Stelios.
It truly infuriates onShore Security to see cybercrime creating a sense of fear and slowing down the innovative force i.e., The Internet. The company envisions bringing full freedom of the Internet to everyone. It is via security that this vision could be fulfilled; hence justifying the company’s tagline “Because Security Gives Us Freedom.”
Picture of the Future
onShore Security deeply believes that security is a process, not any other product. Slowly, many more enterprises will begin to outsource their security operation center, once they realize that security is more than a technical process; it is a business process. As enterprises recognize the need to answer outside of IT, onShore stands ready with all its available technical tools and the right governance, which it garnered in the banking space.
Moving forward, onShore is looking to utilize small and cheap sensors to capture more and more distributed data for mass correlation, with core and edge network data ad to give much more powerful tools to its engineers, like heuristics threat detection.
