Our company name ‘Tobruk’ is in homage to the famous defence of Tobruk in north Africa by Allied forces during WWII, led by Sir Leslie J. Morshead. Morshead led his division through the siege of Tobruk where his aggressive defence denied the Germans a breakthrough. He was a tough commander and, like many Australian, could be blunt with both his staff and higher command. But in the end, this discipline in preparation and execution led to victory.
Smart organisations know and act on the certainty that a cyber-attack is coming. The time to prepare for this attack is before it occurs.
As the motto goes Si vis pacem, para bellum Well planned defences are also affordable, resilient, and adaptable. They become enablers of business success, not inhibitors to your goals. They are woven into your daily practices, not added in after an emergency or when preparing for an audit.
We will work with you and your organisation to ensure you have implemented effective controls against threats, before they compromise your organisation. |
