Inception Tale
Mr. Viveik Kumar holds more than 18 years of industry experience, which is a combination of Business Development, Cybersecurity, and Technology. After working all these years, it was in 2018 that he decided to venture into entrepreneurialism. He wanted to build something purposeful that added value to people’s lives.
During the initial months of 2019, DigiSec began functioning as a cybersecurity services company and grasped the pain points of its clients regarding the protection of their digital assets. Mr. Viveik Kumar also understood that cybersecurity recruitment was one such domain that was not talked much about.
Despite India’s ambitious behavior toward adopting cyber security and the increasing demand for trustworthy resources, the supply was negligible. Businesses needed a highly trained cybersecurity professional to join their Infosec team and stay on the forefront to tackle lurking security breaches. Comprehending this gap, he laid the foundation of DigiSec Cyber Solutions.
“Any tool or technology after a certain period, will phase out easily. So entrepreneurialism is not only about selling tools and services. It is also about helping people find the right people and connecting each one of them efficiently. I had a strong faith in implementing the same idea in the cybersecurity recruitment industry and anticipated that it would become a disruptor for all the right reasons. This motivated me to start my journey as an entrepreneur, and this determination made us what we are today”, says the Founder and CEO.
From Uncertain Roads to Challenges to Opulence
As discussed above, India’s rapid technological growth demands a deep-rooted cybersecurity workforce to defend digital borders and protect its critical infrastructure. But the supply of specialized cyber recruitment services was somewhere around nil. Moreover, as the Indian market hosts numerous SMEs and MSMEs, the cost-effectiveness of cyber security services was also to be taken care of.
Combining all these perspectives in a nutshell, the actual journey of DigiSec started in 2020. Sooner, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, but the company managed to deploy all of its employees and offered a complete work-from-home model. Since then, DigiSec Cyber Solutions has been working in 100% WFH mode and has dedicated itself to delivering excellent customer service.
When we asked Mr. Viveik Kumar more about the initial challenges that he had to face, he elucidated, “Since the very outset of digitization, cybersecurity has been and continues to be a sensitive yet indispensable domain for all sectors of the economy. When I started to form my company, I didn’t have much understanding of the legal regulations, dynamics, and formalities. Building a proficient team and aligning their talents in the right direction was also a challenge back then. But God has been kind enough, and our collective efforts paid off well in the end.”
A Tangible Work Culture Driven by Values
The team is adept at conducting comprehensive evaluations, monitoring, testing, and fortifying cloud platforms and applications. This empowers DigiSec’s clients to deliver applications and services with the utmost confidence, knowing that these systems have undergone thorough scrutiny.
“We have given complete freedom to our employees. We always encourage them to enhance their capabilities outside DigiSec as well. In the end, what matters to us is the unshakeable trust we have built with each other. Our employees are not looking for a bonded corporate lifestyle. We have curated a work environment characterized by dynamism, promoting optimal levels of productivity, and fostering a culture of creativity. We place a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This helps my team members keep polishing their potential and continue working on the company’s growth. I proudly say that DigiSec’s work culture is everything about collaborative actions and growing together”, asserts Mr. Viveik Kumar.
The company has more than 28+ trained recruiters who understand and speak the language of cyber security. The recruitment teams of DigiSec Cyber Solutions are well-equipped with knowledge of every aspect of the cybersecurity industry. The teams are also trained every 45 to 60 days to keep a strong check on the technological changes happening across the industry. This frequent training enables the team to conduct an extensive filtration process for recruiting top-notch talents for the company’s clientele. DigiSec Cyber Solutions has successfully placed more than 479 Leadership and Mid-Management roles in the past two years. DigiSec has positioned itself as the most reliable player in the industry while collaborating with reputed conglomerates and corporate tycoons across domains like banking, large conglomerates, manufacturing, insurance, and healthcare, to name a few.
The Dignitary’s Insights on Entrepreneurship
“People management is always tricky. Most entrepreneurs struggle with managing people the right way, and I also found it quite challenging to do the same. As everyone is looking for growth and development, it’s quite difficult to predict what will happen next. However, having a clear understanding of your vision and mission helps you navigate through the challenges of managing people.
True success as an entrepreneur is not only about money or gigantic turnover numbers. The essence of entrepreneurialism lies in the profound impact we have on improving the lives of others. At its core, it is about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Once this ideology is achieved, both success and fulfillment become inevitable.”
Reaching the Peak with Research and Development (R&D)
Research and Development (R&D) lay the foundation of an organization’s success, particularly in the ceaselessly evolving business landscape. As a service-based company dedicated to developing cutting-edge products, investing in R&D is not just crucial for aligning with DigiSec’s vision, but it also holds a special place in contributing significantly to the growth of our country’s cybersecurity landscape.
Continual analysis of market trends and proactive R&D efforts are correlated. By having the guidance and support of trained cyber-security professionals, any organization, irrespective of industry, can stay prepared for these cyber threats. The investment in R&D showcases an organization’s unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and striving for excellence.
