Reliaquest is a very successful commercial company, and it has a set of skills that can be directly applied to the federal government.

Today’s interview is with Michael McPherson.  He worked for the FBI for over 25 years, and he chose to work for Reliaquest because he believes its technology matrix offers the best hope for securing all networks, that included federal.

During the interview, he explains why he believes this combination works.  First, his background can assist federal agencies to prioritize extant risks.  Second, Reliaquest’s track record in the commercial world gives it skills in scaling and security optimization that are in defense inside the beltway. 

Finally, Reliaquest has recently acquired a company called Digital Shadows  This gives Reliaquest an unusual viewpoint on activities going on the Dark Web.  Malicious actors, origins of attacks, and methods can be conveyed to the Reliaquest platform to give federal leaders a wider range of threat information.

Continuous improvement is a phrase that is popular in the agile and DevOps world.  This idea applies to your agency’s cyber posture.  Once a system is placed that can manage, detect, and respond to threats – it must be updated regularly. 

Reliaquest has proven in the highly competitive commercial world that its system can act as a force multiplier to respond to cyber-attacks.
