ABOUT US

We collaborate with local Wichita businesses to offer services that align with their budget and support their short, medium, and long-term business goals. Our services enhance efficiency by identifying areas where machines can replace repetitive human work, allowing manufacturing personnel to produce more products in the same amount of time.

We also provide cybersecurity risk management services that help customers meet relevant industry standards, laws, and regulations, protect their people, processes, and end consumers, and achieve a higher security posture. By incorporating security measures into their streamlined and upgraded processes, we can improve their cybersecurity and ensure quicker recovery from cyber incidents.

At George Coffman Electric - Cyber, we possess the necessary tools, knowledge, and people to safeguard your business assets at a reasonable price point that reflects the value of Kansas. As a local business, we are committed to ensuring that our customers' operations and bottom line survive a cyber-attack. Although no cybersecurity company can guarantee complete safety, we can provide value and enhance your security posture in a manner that suits the budget of Wichita manufacturers.

Our services extend to various areas where we work with businesses to improve their cybersecurity, such as educating customers on the consequences of a cyber-attack, assessing the current threat environment, estimating the cost of recovery from an attack, and providing the costs of different cybersecurity products and services. At GCE, we believe that as the cyber insurance market matures proportionately to the cyber risk landscape, there will be significant insurance incentives associated with cost savings that will drive demand for our services.

The time taken to recover from a successful ransomware attack on an IT system averages around 16 days, which is increasing yearly. Although limited data is available on ransomware attacks on OT systems, the complexity of these systems implies that it could take longer to recover fully. As manufacturing companies strive to remain competitive globally, three weeks of limited or no manufacturing could be catastrophic. GCE adheres to the current National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST SP-800-82 guidelines to implement cybersecurity controls in the OT environment.
