The Roman philosopher Seneca once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
In Vegas, when you are on a roll, you are on a roll. To beat the odds, you must be smart and disciplined. Whether winning big at the tables or championships on the basketball court, there is no better feeling. Often athletes are asked what it means to win and they often don’t have the words to describe it.
Winning, regardless of the endeavor, almost always is a team effort. Michael Jordan once said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”
Not quite an MVP trophy, but similar to Jordan, the 11:11 Systems team has once again been awarded the 2023 Zero Trust Security Excellence Award by TMCnet.com, recognizing it as one of the leading providers offering the most innovative and effective industry-leading zero trust solutions. This is the second time since 2021 11:11 Systems has won this prestigious honor.

With cybercrime, hardware failure, or natural disasters looming getting your mission-critical systems quickly back online is vital to any business. A data loss event like ransomware, for example, can paralyze an organization for weeks or months as evidenced by recent cyber-attacks at MGM Resorts International.
Regarding ransomware and cybercrime Dante Orsini, chief strategy officer at 11:11 Systems, said “What we see most commonly these days are bad actors trying to infiltrate organizations, digging deep and wide into the system, encrypting data, and locking out parent companies.” Those who pay close attention to the cybersecurity landscape and its recent bleak and dire headlines will recognize just how important this type of protection is.
As per Cybersecurity Ventures, ransomware is the fastest-rising cyber threat, projected to target a business, consumer, or device every two seconds by 2031. They expect cybercrime damages to hit $15 trillion annually by 2025, rising from $3 trillion in 2015. To combat these escalating threats, 11:11 Disaster and Backup services offer proactive protection, helping customers safeguard against sophisticated attacks and maintain a competitive edge.
Aligned with Zero Trust principles, 11:11 integrates security into our technology, processes, and “team culture”, ensuring it’s intrinsic to all aspects of our operations, not limited to specific services or solutions. Winning the 2023 Zero Trust Security Excellence Award for a second time is further evidence of relentless teamwork and a commitment to these principles.
