“What is managed security? It’s about trusting your business to someone else.”

Whether you call it outsourcing, partnering, or hiring, choosing an MSSP is a decision that can seriously affect a business.

With experience at General Electric, NBC, and TJ Maxx, Heff’s breadth of knowledge and experience allow him to see threats in the long term and help you avoid problems down the road.
