Secuvant Appoints Global SOC Manager, VP of Managed Services
Secuvant has been rounding out its executive leadership in recent months. In November, the company named cybersecurity industry veteran Neal Francom as its global security operations center (SOC) manager. Francom manages Secuvant's cyberMDR operations practice and helps the company deliver MDR services, according to Secuvant.
Secuvant in August added Joe Nelson, who possesses 20 years of technical project management and IT operations experience, as its VP of managed services. Nelson is responsible for Secuvant's MDR services and risk management program, the company indicated.
Furthermore, Secuvant in July appointed cybersecurity expert and attorney Matt Sorensen as its CISO and VP of risk management. Sorensen leads Secuvant's cyberRPM risk management practice.
