Black Talon Security, a leading New York-based cybersecurity company, has announced that it has donated $250,000 in free cybersecurity services and software licenses to more than half of the State Dental Association. Following the success of this cybersecurity initiative, Black Talon is extending its offer to sign up for free state and national dental associations through the end of Q1 2023.
Following the cyberattack on the American Dental Association, many state associations were concerned about their organizational security. According to Gary Salman, CEO of Black Talon Security, the product represents the way his company supports and protects the dental community across the country.
“Preventing data theft and maintaining business continuity should be a major focus for all dental associations,” said Salman. “The average cyberattack not only forces an organization to shut down for two weeks, but also negatively impacts its reputation and credibility. This can cost anywhere from $30,000 to millions of dollars. It does not take into account the possibility of a potential ransomware attack.”
