"Our public-sector customers rely on us to support their organizational initiatives. We add value through our dedication to addressing data security challenges with a business-oriented, holistic approach," said Wayne Orchid, president and CEO, in a press release. “With the increased threat of cyber criminals targeting state, local and education entities, our ability to offer best-in-class cybersecurity software products and services is critical to our customers."
