Chavans: Assisting SMBs in Creating a Secure Business Environment

CIO Vendor The cyber security market is expanding at an exponential rate. This growth in the market is witnessed as organizations migrate its core business processes to digital platforms. While the need for cyber security policies and initiatives to be put in place has always been the prime concern for any organization, the onset of the Covid19 pandemic has boosted this market growth even further as organizations opt for cloudbased collaboration tools in a bid to not hamper business operations and stay connected remotely. Moreover, advancing technologies such as AI, IoT, Blockchain and so on are offered as a service on cloud which could translate to more vulnerability. All this has led to a multitude of cloudbased cyber attacks on businesses in the first quarter of this year. While most large enterprises have already adopted robust security practices, it is the small & medium enterprises that are on the path of restructuring and learning along the way.

Helping large enterprises and SMBs alike in expertly addressing the persisting security challenges faced is Bengaluru headquartered Chavans with its secure end-to-end solutions that have been designed and developed with long-term business benefits in mind, with a clear roadmap sans the short-term gains approach. “Chavans has taken an approach to put together an end-to-end security infrastructure portfolio. Because the issue with security is, you can't secure just one room of the house, you have to have end-to-end security, starting with identity, to devices, to applications, to information and data as well as infrastructure needs to be one chain. This is also not about just having the locks in the house but about the ability to monitor what's happening in real-time. And customers are looking for solution providers who can manage the entire show, and not who performs a single gig. ” explains Sumanth Chavan, Founder & CEO of Chavans.
Delving deeper, he goes on to tell us how data theft can lead to significant revenue loss for a company and so the company extends its data leakage prevention solutions which monitors all data types – at endpoints, at rest in the datacentres or in motion, in the network. “Here it is more about bringing behavioural change among employees and it’s not about policing their activities. While data security has to be in place; we firmly emphasise on making sure organisations protect all critical data by having the right backup policies in place,” informs Sumanth.

Ensuring the Safety of Data
The company, since its inception in 2015, strives to empower its customers with the ability to create the tech intensity within its organisations to create digital IP and seamlessly control its own data so that the surplus created using that data goes to them and their users, their customers and their institution and not someone else. Gaining a strong foothold in this domain, Chavans has worked with a myriad of enterprise customers across India and US where a majority of these clients are ranked in Fortune 500 level.

Sumanth concludes with his future plans for Chavans, “We are very uniquely positioned, not for just this segment but for the whole of IT in an organization. We have put people at the centre of technology-solution strategy - how it impacts our customers, employees, business partners, society or other key constituencies and then we have built the smart spaces around it, thus resulting positive business outcomes. We provide solutions from edge-to-core-to-cloud with security & services across. While we will continue to grow on this strength; we shall focus heavily on AI, hyper-automation and Blockchain solutions as well.”
