An Interview with Don Ritzman, Ghost Systems, Inc. CEO: ‘We’re Committed to Creating a Positive Impact’ “We continually strive to change the fundamental dynamics of the war between cyber-criminals and the good guys by reformulating the fundamental structure of the Internet.” I t’s not a question of if – but when – an individual or organization will experience a serious security breach. Cyber criminals are using more sophisticated and targeted attacks to steal everything from valuable intellectual property to the sensitive personal and financial information of individuals, customers, partners, and employees. Their motivations run the gamut from financial to political to retaliatory. With enough time and money, they can breach the security defenses of even the largest enterprises. And, a poorly contained breach and/or botched response have the potential to cost millions to a business or perhaps kill it entirely, ruin personal and professional reputations, and even take down an entire country. In light of the foregoing, we’re thrilled to present Ghost Systems, Inc. 96 Ghost Systems was established to support the Financial Services and Banking; Legal; Healthcare/Pharma; Critical Infrastructure and Energy; Mid-Market Enterprise, and The Internet of Things (IoT) markets – the most vulnerable markets for cyber-thefts today.

When installed into an organization, the SafePlace Ecosystem “Ghostifies™” the network and creates a SafePlace™ in which the organization can safely communicate with its customers, partners, or entire communities of common interest. This dramatically enhances the data availability, confidentiality, and integrity while preventing unauthorized access or theft of digital information – whether in- flight or at-rest. Ghost – in cooperation with several bellwether companies – developed industry-specific workflows. Each workflow is easily added into existing enterprise environments, providing an economical way to ensure all information shared and stored is absolutely secure. Fork-lift upgrades to add cybersecurity into your organization are not necessary with SafePlace Ecosystem’s workflow templates. It’s safe to mention that “The Internet of Trust™” employs proprietary technologies to provide a highly resilient and secure network and communications ecosystem. Mr Ritzman explains the firm’s overall mission, the steps Ghost undertake to ensure the clients receive the best possible outcome, and what differentiates the company from competitors. “Here at Ghost Systems, our mission is to authoritatively develop and
