Platview Technologies
Fortifying Digital Security across Continents

Platview Technologies’ impressive growth trajectory in recent years illustrates its commitment to solving the distinct cybersecurity challenges businesses face across industries. In just a few years, it became Nigeria’s premier cybersecurity company and successfully expanded its footprint into West Africa, the UK and the U.S.

Driven by the rising demand for a blend of enhanced service and localized support, Platview brings cutting-edge technology and expertise closer to its clients while cultivating stronger partnerships to fortify their defenses.

Its journey as an intercontinental entity necessitated the growth of its team and the establishment of strategic business units, including its development as a managed security services provider (MSSP). Powered by a proprietary technology based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and behavioral analytics, the MSSP automates the detection and prevention of advanced threats. It includes a comprehensive suite of services encompassing digital asset management, cyber threat intelligence, managed security operations center, fraud management and proactive incident response to ensure its clients stay ahead of potential threats.

“Our services are designed to proactively monitor, detect and respond to cyber incidents, all while complying with local regulatory requirements and adhering to industry standards,” says Dapo Salami, executive director, business development.

Each solution is custom-designed and delivered through its ever-resilient team, which is strategically positioned in the company. Platview attributes its success to them and their persistent can-do spirit, which ensures the collective vision of the company is continually achieved.

Tailored Solutions for Diverse Challenges

Clients are served across various business verticals, including banking and finance, telecommunication, fintech, oil and gas, manufacturing, health and government. This variety typically poses challenges due to differences in regulatory requirements, types of data handled and the nature of the threats. Most customers also face operational challenges like a shortage of skilled security personnel and a limited budget.

Adapting its business model, Platview tailors its cybersecurity solutions to meet the needs of organizations regardless of industry. It provides local implementation and technical support, flexible payment plans and a comprehensive, risk-based approach to tackle the shifting nature of threats.

A client who struggled with database security and inefficiencies in their Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) solutions benefited greatly from Platview’s comprehensive approach. Initial deployment issues and inadequate information sharing had led to vulnerabilities in the database. Platview conducted a thorough analysis, optimizing security and improving DAM utilization. Ongoing support and regular health checks ensured the system’s effectiveness, enhancing system performance and greater peace of mind for the client.

The company’s success is rooted in the proactive approach that differentiates it in the market. It includes value-added penetration testing, vulnerability assessment services and health checks of clients’ critical infrastructure and technology. It also organizes cybersecurity awareness training to inform clients of potential threats. If any risk manages to breach their shield, Platview provides quick and effective incident response strategies to minimize damage, supported by their dedicated 24/7 customer service.

A Blueprint of Success

Platview’s products and services guarantee sensitive information is accessible to only those authorized to have access. Equally important is the quick availability of data when they need it. To guarantee this, the company eliminates disruptions to access, such as cyber-attacks or hardware failures and maintains round-the-clock service availability.

Platview adopts the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Security Framework as its guideline for managing and constantly improving its approach. Using this framework, it aims to understand the context, assets and risks of client businesses. Findings are used to develop security for their infrastructure. Cybersecurity events are identified and information systems are continuously monitored to develop and implement incident response plans.

Continuous training enables its skilled analysts to conduct monitoring, generate alerts, and perform proactive threat hunting services. The internal tools that detect any intrusion define and facilitate these processes. Workflows are defined for its customers, enabling the location and investigation of tactics and techniques used by attackers to threaten daily business. Platview’s analysts regularly review workflows to detect threats and provide actionable remediations.

Prioritization is crucial in the event of multiple threats. Platview assesses the potential impact and likelihood of each threat and vulnerability using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to categorize vulnerabilities by severity. The team develops a response plan that includes immediate action for high-risk vulnerabilities. After addressing significant threats, they conduct post-incident reviews to identify areas for improvement and continuously refine threat and vulnerability management processes.

Fostering strategic partnerships through transnational growth, Platview aligns long-term cybersecurity strategies with clients’ business objectives. Delivering personalized solutions and support, it empowers clients to thrive in a secure environment, feeling genuinely supported and valued.
