Electronic information, whether it's smart grid or digital health records, should be a boon for cyber security firms like RazorThreat.
The downtown Pontiac-based firm specializes in threat analysis and other cyber security issues for firms. It's been a growth industry as the world goes digital, and Greg Guidice, CEO of RazorThreat, sees it exploding as more and more hackers become more sophisticated, better funded, and more effective.
"Look at what's happening at Twitter," Guidice says.
He points out that these forces are a lot like organized crime. They are often financially or politically motivated and well-funded. Initiatives like the smart grid and electronic health records give them a bigger field to play in.
RazorThreat employs mostly 1099 (freelance) workers, with some located in its Pontiac office and others spread remotely throughout Michigan and the eastern half of the U.S.
