Cyber Dacians

Origin

by Mihai Barloiu

Who we are

A group of ordinary people with extraordinary ambitions, discipline and work ethic. Our root is deeply anchored in the Ancient land of the Dacians, a brave, knowledgeable civilization that lived during the Roman Age, 500 years before Christ. Today that land is known as Romania, we have selected among us, modern day cyber warriors that carry with them the Dacian Wolf War Banner in mind and spirit and selected as our logo the Carpathian Falcon — The Aquilla. These symbols are part of our code of honor, this is how we operate and more importantly this is how we defend our clients and partners.

We are growing, and we are spread in all the corners of the Earth, from the heart of Europe, to North America, South America, Africa and Asia, the CyberDacians are coming in the frontline of defending business, people and assets, to protect the freedom of companies that are in the business world and are the backbone of the international economy, giving people a job, a salary a way of life, we are here for them.

Chronology

In 2018, the first of us participated with a project called CyberDacians in a European Union Program Competition for New Businesses. In January 2019, we won and the idea of CyberDacians was now legally materialized and the entity was born.

In March 2019, we created our company’s design, based on the martial valor that we believe in. We established as symbols — Brasus, an authentic Dacians Warrior that served under King Decebalus in the Roman — Dacians wars from 101–106, A.D. and his falcon — Acquila — read their story here — https://cyberdacians.com/story/. In June 2019, we launched operations in Cluj — Napoca (Transylvania — Romania); New York (USA) and London (UK). In October we have reached a partnership agreement with business professionals from Singapore and are currently engaging the Singaporean market.

In 2020 we have decided to start operations in Chile — South America and are aiming to be among the winners for the Startup Chile Program, this year we are also bound to lunch our own cybersecurity product, an APT (Advance Persistent Threat) software that will be deployed for defensive reasons, and will hold the ability to evaluate in a very complex way all the weaknesses of a company’s digital infrastructure, so that we may transform those weaknesses into strengths.

Among our projects for this year is developing our specially crafted protection program for startups, called Brasus Startup Shield, more information on it here -https://cyberdacians.com/startups/.

Capabilities

Our team has a wide reach in terms of capabilities that are situated both in the cybersecurity area and outside of it. From business strategy to international security and project management, the Dacians are crossing borders and using the interdisciplinary approach, we bring a new touch to cybersecurity, understanding it as part of the international security/business system and not outside of it just as another component.

To emphasize our understanding of cybersecurity in the wider equation of cyberwarfare, international security, business development and data protection we are soon to launch regular materials, blog posts and a podcast, that align military strategy thinking with current best practices in cybersecurity and how they could benefit or destroy businesses on the Global stage also taking in consideration the different geopolitical factors in play.

Modern day security is not isolated, quite the opposite it represents a neurological high -tech system that communicates blitzkrieg fast in real time. We see this being used by the top militaries of the world such as the US. The MSOC (Master Security Operation Center) integrates now surveillance analysis both in the physical realm and digital one, OSINT (Open Source Intelligence Analysis) that feeds the system with updated information of the “environment”, physical & digital security infrastructure that are interconnected and different defense scenarios according to the variety of attack situations that can occur. In order to defend our clients and partners effective, we reflect and adjust our strategy accordingly.

Motto

Si vis pacem para bellum — If you want peace prepare for war

This Latin/Roman quote was used as preemptive strategical mindset, if you want to prosper, do business, build network and enjoy life the very first precondition for this is Safety — Active Protection — Security. Defense is the element at the foundation of modern — day society, none of what we do, have and enjoy today would be possible without security. In the realm of nation states this status quo is ensured by the military that projects power and keeps the enemy at bay externally, by the intelligence community and police internally that ensure that respect for the rule of law is in place, therefore we benefit from a relative stable and predictable system in terms of security that allow us to concentrate our lives on building projects/ connecting with people and growing ideas, but none of it would be realizable without Protection.

In a strong society there is the need for an extra layer of security aside from the general one described above, there is the need for tailor made security that evaluates each business and enterprise individually. This way by connecting the dots, from public security to private security we achieve a robust and resilient society that can operate free, brave and continue to innovate, but to maintain this status quo, we have to defend it.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are Cyberdacians, and we defend!

Brasus and Aquilla
