This image is crucial because it shows the % increase and total average weekly cyber attacks companies and organizations go through. These will be the people we target to service our help and efforts to and assist them with this cyber epidemic. Especially the small businesses within these categories as they are targeted at nearly 40% more.

This image exemplifies the extreme scale, impact of these cyber attacks on businesses and the economy. Shows as to why our firm would be so important and critical to an area that needs all the help it can get. Also, there are plenty of people who need our services, not enough people offering these services, and lots of profit to make.

By researching various consulting firm start ups I have sectioned off some estimate startup costs depending on what directions we decide to go with the firm. The biggest factors are whether we will be fully online, or have a physical location to have as well. Also if we want to go and get our own IT team and full on tech software equipment or just use Amazon Web Services as they would save us nearly 80% in capital by starting up with them. The number of employees needed to startup with also have not been decided, which would have impact on number of computers, software we would need as well.

If we had to choose a place to lease, it would definitely be this one, good location around plenty of small businesses, plenty of space possibly a bit much, but for that price makes it a great deal.
This image here will be critical to what we do on a daily basis and how we approach customers issues, and attacks at hand. This is a cyber kill chain, a model developed by Lockheed Martin in order to help assist with the procedure of going through the steps of a hacker in a reverse engineering type of way to see not only where your vulnerabilities are but how it happened and what to do, check next. This will also be covered more in detail within the eBook lessons.
