On their relationship and the way, they deploy solutions to clients, Voke said “First, we like to understand the situation, so we can give the best advice, secondly, we then render solutions that will embed the customer’s systems for a long time. We are indeed in business to make money but paramount that is to have a have customer call us and gives us a thumbs up. This a lot shows the value and not the money. I believe the keyword here is value, Many companies sell security solution, but the question is how long does it take for the customer to realize that the tool you have provided lacks some features or doesn’t the work as expected, in lieu of the above we only partner with OEM’s that have long lasting credibility in the market and solutions that cater not just for the customer but with their solution they can solve the customers issues not for 2, 4, 5years, NO, but a solutions that embeds itself with the customer.”

So, we do not have a particular market we are focused in, we can work with the small firms and big conglomerates.”
On ways to prevent data breach, Voke advised firms on what to do. Hear him, “Data Breach can be prevented by taking certain security measures which includes but is not limited to; Ensuring the security application software(s) are running and are up to date. Using multifactor authentication where necessary. Also, the need to have updated system is critical, as criminals and hacks get more sophisticated the need to have updated system is important. ”
