The discussion highlights the evolution of digital risk protection services (DRPS), emphasizing that effective security goes beyond simply detecting threats—it requires active remediation and takedown services to neutralize them. Guney explains that a comprehensive strategy involves monitoring over 35,000 hacker channels across the surface, deep, and dark web.

He also stresses the critical importance of continuous monitoring and managing risks from third-party vendors and supply chains, as these can be a weak point for an organization. Guney advises that the return on investment (ROI) for digital risk protection should be seen not as a simple calculation but as a necessity, representing the cost of not protecting your business. His core message is that proactive, intelligence-driven cybersecurity is essential, extending beyond your company's borders to secure all partners and suppliers.
