The problem it solves
Public infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can disrupt essential services and pose safety risks. Existing cybersecurity measures often lack the specific focus on critical infrastructure, leading to inadequate protection against targeted attacks.
How it makes money
Subscription-based service providing ongoing cybersecurity monitoring and response for public infrastructure entities.
Skills you need
Cybersecurity expertise, knowledge of public infrastructure systems, risk assessment skills, and incident response capabilities.
The market, and why this works now
The increasing implementation of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for public infrastructure projects makes this business viable. A concrete first-revenue move could involve listing services in local chamber-of-commerce directories to reach municipalities seeking compliance with CMMC standards. A significant constraint is the high capital required for advanced cybersecurity tools and skilled personnel, which can extend the customer acquisition cost payback period.
