Solid and solemn advice.

"We don't have any new instructions from the federal government, so from now on we're on our own."

Captain Philip Foss said those words over the PA on September 15, 2001, four days after the attacks, after the cabin door closed on United Flight 564 in Denver. The flight was headed to Washington. Commercial flights had resumed just two days earlier, and many Americans were still afraid to fly. Foss had just thanked his passengers for being brave enough to come out that day.

Then he told them exactly what to do.

If anyone claimed to have a bomb, don't believe him. If someone stood up and announced a hijacking, every passenger should stand up and throw things at him: pillows, books, magazines, eyeglasses, shoes, anything to knock him off balance.

"Remember, there will be one of them and maybe a few confederates, but there are 200 of you," he said. "You can overwhelm them."

It was the opposite of what airline crews had been trained to tell passengers. Before 9/11, crews were trained not to fight hijackers, and even to talk passengers out of taking them on.

Foss knew what he was talking about. He had flown F-8 Crusader fighter jets for the Marines in Vietnam, logging more than 300 combat missions and earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1982, on a flight to Miami, he and his captain disarmed a hijacker.

His announcement went viral within hours, and the Associated Press tracked down a passenger who confirmed it. On October 11, 2001, Senator Richard Shelby read his words into the Congressional Record during the Senate debate on aviation security.

Since then, passengers have done exactly what he described more than once, tackling would-be attackers on board.

This June, 25 years after that flight to Washington, Foss flew there again, this time with Honor Flight Chicago, as an honored veteran.

= Unmanaged Business Risk

Industrial leaders understand the need to improve cybersecurity.

The challenge is finding the right Managed Security Services Provider without losing months researching, comparing and qualifying potential partners.

As your trusted technology advisor, we invest that time for you.

We evaluate MSSPs against your operating environment, risk priorities, existing technology, compliance requirements and recovery objectives—then bring forward the providers best aligned with your business.

This delivers three executive benefits:

1. **Faster Provider Selection**
Reduce the time spent researching capabilities, comparing overlapping offerings and conducting repetitive discovery meetings.

2. **Better Business Alignment**
Evaluate MSSPs based on operational outcomes—not simply technology features, certifications or alert volume.

3. **Reduced Time to Improve Security Posture**
Move more quickly from identifying exposure to implementing continuous monitoring, threat detection, incident response and recovery support.

Our role is not to present every available provider.

It is to help you identify the right providers, ask better questions and make a well-informed decision—faster.

**How much time could your leadership team recover with a trusted advisor managing the MSSP evaluation process?**

= More Industrial Risk

For industrial businesses, cybersecurity cannot stop at protecting office computers.

The right Managed Security Services Provider helps protect the systems, facilities and people responsible for keeping production moving.

Top 3 benefits:

1. **Stronger IT and OT Visibility**
Identify exposed assets, unusual activity and security gaps across plants, remote sites, cloud platforms, industrial networks and third-party connections.

2. **Faster Threat Detection and Response**
Provide continuous monitoring and experienced incident response—reducing the time attackers have to disrupt operations, steal data or move between systems.

3. **Greater Operational Resilience**
Align cybersecurity, recovery planning and business continuity to reduce downtime, protect production and improve readiness for ransomware, supplier compromise and other disruptive events.

The best MSSP does more than generate alerts.

It helps industrial leaders turn security telemetry into faster decisions, stronger resilience and measurable business protection.

**Executive summary:** OWASP is the **risk language**. Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Akamai are **control platforms** that help reduce those risks in different layers of the stack.

OWASP does **not** sell security products. It defines common risk categories, testing guidance, and secure-development expectations. Mimecast and Proofpoint mainly protect the **human/email/data layer**. Akamai mainly protects the **web application/API/edge layer**. Together, they help translate OWASP risks into enforceable controls.

# # How they align

| Vendor | Primary Layer | How It “Plays” with OWASP | Best OWASP Fit |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Mimecast** | Email security, BEC, impersonation, URL/attachment defense, DMARC, continuity, DLP | Reduces phishing, credential theft, malware delivery, malicious links, spoofed domains, and outbound data leakage that often lead to OWASP-style application compromise | Identity failures, software/data integrity issues, security monitoring, social engineering around apps |
| **Proofpoint** | Email security, threat protection, user risk, DLP, post-delivery remediation | Protects the people who access applications; blocks phishing, BEC, ransomware, malicious URLs/attachments, and unauthorized data movement | Identity failures, data exposure, monitoring, software/

**Statistics** and **analytics** are related, but they are not the same.

# # Core Difference

**Statistics** is the discipline of collecting, measuring, modeling, and interpreting data to understand what is true or likely true.

**Analytics** is the practical use of data, statistics, tools, and business context to make decisions, improve performance, or predict outcomes.

Put simply:

> **Statistics asks: “What does the data prove or suggest?”**
> **Analytics asks: “What should we do with what the data shows?”**

# # Side-by-Side Comparison

| Category | Statistics | Analytics |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Main purpose | Understand patterns, uncertainty, probability, and relationships | Support decisions, actions, forecasting, and business outcomes |
| Focus | Mathematical validity | Practical usefulness |
| Typical questions | “Is this result statistically significant?” “What is the probability?” “Is there correlation?” | “Which customers are likely to churn?” “Where should we invest?” “What campaign worked best?” |
| Methods | Sampling, hypothesis testing, regression, confidence intervals, probability models | Dashboards, KPIs, predictive models, segmentation, attribution, optimization |
| Output | Evidence, inference, probabilities, statistical conclusions | Recommendations, insights, forecasts, action
