CohnReznick's Tech-First Consulting Approach Helps Companies Navigate AI and Cybersecurity Challenges

The technology markets are undergoing rapid change, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing and other technologies. Companies that fail to embrace these innovations risk falling behind, while those that adopt them face the challenge of implementation that supports business objectives and growth strategies. Navigating this complexity alone can be daunting for technology companies of all sizes, which is where CohnReznick's tech-first consulting approach provides critical support.

CohnReznick helps technology companies optimize business performance, manage risk and maximize value through the use of AI and cutting-edge technology. The firm's professionals bring decades of technology industry experience across software, cloud, mobility and data analytics sectors, serving companies from startups to established enterprises. They provide full life cycle support from early-stage strategy to transaction readiness, helping clients implement AI, automate data, roll out cloud applications, secure systems and manage technology risk. One case study demonstrates this value: CohnReznick helped a portfolio company assess an acquisition target and discovered the startup's platform lacked systems to scale, enabling the client to negotiate an offer price at one-fifth of the original estimated valuation.

Beyond client consulting, CohnReznick develops its own technology products and services, including the Digital Forensics Lab launched last year. This facility serves as the central hub for cyber incident response solutions, enabling professionals to assess the full scope of cyber incidents, gather and secure digital evidence, and establish protections against future threats. Through digital forensics, investigators collect and analyze digital evidence to pinpoint the cause of cyberattacks, which requires substantial computing power and storage where cloud services become essential. The lab uses advanced tools to quickly uncover the nature and extent of incidents whether data breaches, malware infections, or unauthorized access attempts, working to identify bad actors and restore systems while also providing security assessments, threat monitoring, and cyberattack preparation through trial runs.

CohnReznick also stands with clients throughout breach response processes, helping comply with breach notification mandates and regulations, recovering lost or compromised data, and providing expert witness testimony if breaches result in litigation. The firm's AI expertise represents another critical service area, with CohnReznick leveraging its early adopter experience to help clients streamline operations through carefully implemented artificial intelligence. Clients seek guidance on how to use AI in their businesses and what processes and procedures need implementation, with CohnReznick advising a measured approach that implements AI only where it will genuinely improve business outcomes. Whether helping companies stop cyberattacks or rolling out AI that boosts productivity, CohnReznick's tech-first consulting approach is changing how consulting serves technology companies in the 21st century.
