Cutting-Edge Solutions Made Practical
Our approach to solving business problems is embodied in three core principles:
Technology exists to serve humans, not vice versa. You shouldn’t need to be an expert in technology to benefit from it.
Practicality is paramount. We’re in the business of providing concrete solutions to your hard problems. Bells and whistles are not our thing.
Simplicity is a virtue. A truly elegant solution looks and feels easy. If your reaction is, “This is all it takes?”, we’ve succeeded.
We perform project-based work in three solutions areas, described below.
Infrastructure Design and Deployment
Virtually every business requires an information technology infrastructure. Networks, computers, mobile devices, web sites, email, and other technologies are essential to modern businesses. iKAG Technology Solutions can help design and deploy solutions that suit your business’s technology needs.
Many customers need only the basics: a handful of computers and mobile devices with connectivity to the Internet. Others may need productivity suites such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, as well as web sites hosted on services like SquareSpace or GoDaddy. Larger businesses may need segmented networks, endpoint management, and services from cloud providers like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
Our experience runs the gamut from building small-office/home-office (SOHO) infrastructures; to designing and deploying infrastructures for local public-service organizations; to architecting, designing, and deploying Fortune 100 enterprise infrastructures; to designing, deploying, and operating cloud-based infrastructures for some of the largest companies in the world.
Cybersecurity
It’s no secret that the Internet is a dangerous place. But it can be overwhelming to choose among the dizzying array of security products and practices and land on a set that are right for your business. At iKAG Technology Solutions, we advocate a fundamentals-first approach.
Many customers need help with the essentials: Endpoint Protection, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Secrets Management (SM). Others are ready to consider more advanced defenses, guided by threat modelling and risk assessments. Still others have specific high-value assets that require custom preventive and detective controls.
Our experience includes building corporate security programs for companies both large and small; performing threat model analyses of networks, applications, and environments; designing and deploying on-premise, cloud, and hybrid IAM and secrets management infrastructures; and designing and implementing specialized, highly secure environments for corporate and government customers.
Intelligence and Analytics
Most businesses have an abundance of useful business-related data; but data alone isn’t enough. iKAG Technology Solutions delivers solutions to organize, manage, and make sense of the numbers. Typical projects run the gamut from designing and building data pipelines, to developing custom analytics, metrics, and dashboards, to implementing forecasting systems that let you identify and make the most of your business opportunities.
For some customers, the best solution involves common, off-the-shelf technologies like Excel, Confluence, and PowerBI. Others may need more advanced technologies like SQL Server or Splunk. Still others may require custom machine-learning and artificial intelligence systems leveraging technologies like pandas, Seaborn, scikit, and TensorFlow. Whichever you need, we’ve got you covered.
Our experience includes building business metrics and dashboards for customers in a variety of industries; designing and implementing operational monitoring systems for cloud service; building and operating security anomaly detection systems for some of the world’s most sensitive networks; and modeling and assessing the capabilities of foreign weapon systems for the US Government.
