Meet Tony

Vice President

In my mid-20s, I decided to invest in (and run) two franchised restaurants while also working a corporate career in information security. With close to 25 jobs and a sizeable investment at stake, I learned how to run all aspects of the business effectively, including operations, recruiting, marketing, advertising, finance, and taxes, which turned out to be like a crash-course M.B.A.听

That experience helped me understand the basics of building a business and all the disciplines that make one successful.

Why are you passionate about cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is about striking the balance between protecting the business and enabling it to thrive. I鈥檓 passionate about helping clients transform their cyber-defense programs since it usually involves a multidisciplinary approach to maturing processes, changing behaviors, and improving the use of technology.

听

What are some of the greatest challenges facing cybersecurity? As cyber attackers routinely target our clients using weaponization techniques known only to nation-state actors with sophisticated technology, their existence hinges on the ability to detect and respond to these attacks faster and with precision. In addition, clients are faced with the burden of reducing their large and porous attack surfaces while cyber adversaries continue to gain an advantage.听
