PRESIDIO
Managing
migration risk
However , alongside infrastructure delivery , Presidio has developed unique expertise around cloud , collaboration and crucially cybersecurity . The level of threat has rocketed this century as new ways of using , accessing , and storing data are adopted and vulnerabilities proliferate . “ We are able not only to help companies transition and transfer their workloads to the cloud , but also we can effectively enable them to secure those workloads ,” says Dave Trader , who has been Presidio ' s Cybersecurity Practice Lead since the beginning of 2019 , and global Field CISO since January 2021 . He is one of the industry ' s leading security experts with 20 years ' experience , including eight years with the Marines specializing in critical military security and communications , and most recently Chief Information Security Officer at GalaxE Solutions . He ' s also a graduate of the FBI CISO Academy , one of fewer than 200 since the program was inaugurated in 2015 .
Since early 2020 the market has seen a rush to migrate to the cloud . “ We are trying to get applications closer to the user , which raises issues around latency and security concerns about the right way to achieve that as the workforce moves from office to home ,” says Trader . “ We have moved from ' cloud first ' to ' cloud right '. We start with an evaluation so that we can advise as to whether cloud is really best for this client and if so in what configuration .”
