PRESS RELEASE
[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]
ATLANTA, GA, July 18, 2022
- Vector Choice Technology Solutions has expanded to create a brand-new
Security Operations team that will include an expansion of services and improve
current offerings. This new department will combine both cybersecurity and
compliance to offer a more in-depth, holistic solution with a focus on aligning
security and compliance with business continuity.
Vector Choice is bringing their decades of experience
in cybersecurity and compliance services to the SMB market by offering
Compliance-as-a-Service. Vector Choice will not only deploy and manage the IT infrastructure
but develop and manage compliance programs to keep clients audit ready
year-round. By merging security and compliance, Vector Choice will be able to
offer solution-based services to cover gaps and maintain a proactive response,
rather than simply offering a report to indicate current and potential security
and compliance issues. From firewall logs to policy creation, to employee
training, to vendor management, Vector Choice will solve your HIPAA, NIST, or
SOC issues.
Cybersecurity and compliance have grown into many more
areas that SMB customers have typically not been able to access. Vector Choice
aims to help clients demonstrate to their cyber security insurance providers
they have the tools in place, and properly functioning, to make sure claims
gets paid. Vector Choice will help senior leadership make informed risk
decisions around backup and recovery, mobile device management, MFA, and
insider threat with monthly reports to keep them informed of their risk
exposure.
"If data is a critical business function, then you
have to know where it is, what people are doing with it, and how long it would
take to recover," said Jon DePerro, Vector Choice's Chief Compliance Officer.
"Vector Choice is investing heavily in our client's ability to make informed,
deliberate risk decisions and giving them the ability to demonstrate their
cyber readiness to auditors, insurance companies, clients, or investors."
Vector Choice founder and CEO Will Nobles has always
sought to provide the best for his clients and finding the best leaders to lead
this company-wide initiative to offer SecOps services was of top priority. Nobles
found those leaders in Jon DePerro, the new Chief Compliance Officer, and Beau
Dickie, Vector Choice's new Chief Security Officer.
Jon DePerro has over two decades in security and risk
management. Most of this time was with the US Army where he served as a
Counterintelligence Special Agent. DePerro's various global assignments
involved advanced security and threat management roles at the Army's
Intelligence and Security Command and the NSA in support of the national
intelligence and US Special Operations communities. He was also selected to
serve as a founding member of NATOs first ever military cyber-defense working
group. Jon has spent the past three years working with MSPs to help them
understand security, compliance, and risk management. His guiding work principle in security and
compliance will enable business operations by allowing senior leaders to make
informed risk decisions while protecting critical business functions.
Beau Dickie leverages his 20 years in security,
operations, law enforcement, and incident response to protect organizations
while enabling their critical business functions. Dickie's extensive knowledge
of physical security, cybercrime investigations, and vulnerability assessments
lead to him being asked to serve as a subject matter expert in both courts of
law and board rooms across the Southeast. Vector Choice is leveraging Dickie's
demonstrated success in understanding cyber security risks to offer our clients
enterprise level security solutions scaled for SMB budgets and staff. Dickie
has spent the last 7 years developing and managing security strategies for
MSPs, aligning these strategies with business continuity and compliance
frameworks.
DePerro and Dickie will work in conjunction and
partnership with one another to bring security and compliance solutions to
Vector Choice's clients.
