Nicor Global, Cyber Security Solutions Provider, Announces Jack Thomas Tomarchio as CEO

Washington, D.C. and Wayne, PA (PRWEB) May 12, 2009 -- Innovative cyber security company, Nicor Global, announces Jack Thomas Tomarchio, as the company's Chief Executive Officer. Tomarchio, the former Deputy Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Intelligence and Analysis Operations, has taken the helm of the fast-growing, cyber security solutions provider (CSSPTM) and says he is excited about the company's offensive solutions designed to secure critical infrastructures.

Deeply familiar with the cyber threats faced by the U.S. government from state actors, organized criminals, hackers, and terrorists Jack Thomas Tomarchio states, "I first learned of NICOR Global and its unique capabilities while I was serving in government as the Deputy Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Intelligence and Analysis Operations. I saw in this company and its personnel a real and compelling solution to these threats."

Founded in 2007 by CTO Charles Dodd and COO Rick Yost, Nicor Global was built on the foundation of the team's combined 40 years of experience in cyber warfare strategies for both the intelligence community and defense department sectors. The company has created a portfolio of consulting services and products that not only address government needs but also the demands of financial, Fortune 500, and SMB markets.

"What sets NICOR apart from traditional information assurance companies is that we view the threat from an offensive optic," Tomarchio explains. "Having served our intelligence community for many years, Nicor Global's experts see the threat from a collector's viewpoint. Knowing how the adversary operates brings unique understanding to the fight; few other firms enjoy this advantage."
