Identifying Market Gaps in Cybersecurity
Nick Gibson, the founder of Gibson Cyber, recognized a significant gap in affordable cybersecurity solutions for small and medium-sized businesses after observing a consistent stream of requests for help from firms that were often overlooked by larger managed security service providers (MSSPs). His experience with high-stakes cyber incident investigations revealed that even small businesses could be prime targets for sophisticated threats, including those from state-sponsored actors. In response, he founded Gibson Cyber to offer subscription-based services tailored specifically for smaller organizations that need robust cybersecurity protections without the prohibitive costs typically associated with such services. This approach not only fills a vital need in the market but also allows small businesses to access cutting-edge technology that has historically been reserved for large corporations.
