Cybersecurity Services for Howard Technology Solutions

Howard Technology Solutions is one of four divisions of Howard Industries, a Mississippi company founded in 1968 by Billy W. Howard Sr. after he left General Electric to build something at home. Its siblings include Howard Medical and Howard Power, with Howard Transportation held as a wholly owned subsidiary. Unusually for a reseller, the technology division manufactures. Desktops, notebooks, servers, kiosks and medical carts are built in Ellisville, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015

Manufacturing shapes how a business thinks, and it thinks in throughput and bill of materials. Cybersecurity sits in the same catalogue as audiovisual, computing and network products, sold to school districts, higher education, state and local government, federal buyers through a NASA SEWP subcontract, and medical customers. Those five buyer types answer to five different control regimes, and none of them will accept a security answer built to a hardware cadence. Making the machine gives Howard genuine advantages on price, warranty and lifecycle, and not one of them helps at the moment a district calls after a ransomware event or a hospital needs its clinical network segmented. Recruiting engineers of that grade to Ellisville, against national demand and national salaries, is a slow and expensive way to close the gap

CWS staffs those engagements under the Howard name. One delivery standard, across the United States and Canada, in English and in French where Quebec or Canadian federal work requires it, so a school district in Mississippi and a federal agency ordering through SEWP receive identical engineering. Corova runs the scoping, the quoting and the project tracking, which lets Howard price a security service with the same confidence it prices a server it built itself
