“ To recover from the average attack likely costs nearly $ 100,000 ,” Kunau continued . “ IGTG and our team want to help lower these statistics by helping race teams , their businesses , and their sponsors ’ businesses prepare through our managed operational services and our cyber analysis programs .”
One of IGTG ’ s groundbreaking innovations is Managed Operational Services ( MOS ). Traditional Managed Service Providers ( MSPs ) often require teams ( customers ) to adopt new , expensive technologies . However , IGTG ’ s MOS utilizes existing infrastructure , managing current technologies while gradually introducing more secure solutions .
“ Our idea is to take what the company is using today – be it antivirus , firewall technology , server management , or patch management – and help them manage it until the terms expire ,” says Kunau . “ During this period , we ’ re using their products , seeing how they work , and potentially introducing better , more secure products .”
One of the standout products in IGTG ’ s arsenal is Black Fog , a data exfiltration prevention solution . This technology is crucial for racing teams , preventing unauthorized access and data breaches .
“ Black Fog identifies unusual behavior and prevents any unauthorized data from leaving a device or network , stopping potential cyber-attacks in real time , mitigating the risks around ransomware and extortion ,” adds Kunau . “ This is essential for keeping the team ’ s data and strategies secure .”
IGTG emphasizes the importance of business continuity , especially in the fast-paced world of drag racing . Kunau stresses the need for regular backups of mission-critical systems , ensuring that teams can recover quickly from any cyber-attack , minimizing downtime and potential losses .
IGTG ’ s involvement in drag racing extends beyond providing IT solutions . Kunau and his team are committed to educating racing teams about cybersecurity and efficient data management . By implementing advanced synchronization systems , IGTG ensures that teams can operate seamlessly , with real-time data updates crucial for raceday decisions .
