ScaleUp Technologies Names Scott Sanchez as Privacy and Security Officer
📅 - Company forms Security Advisory Panel to bring greater level of trust to cloud computing.
ScaleUp Technologies, a provider of cloud-based data center infrastructure, recently announced that it has named Scott Sanchez, a recognized thought leader and frequent speaker on the topic of cloud computing security, as its Privacy and Security Officer.
According to the company, executives often recognize the business case of cloud computing and understand it can offer significant Return on Investment (ROI). However, companies that are considering moving to cloud-based infrastructure - whether private, public, or hybrid clouds - frequently report security and privacy issues as a major barrier. It has addressed this issue by taking a top to bottom view of security across its offerings, which is an approach that will be further enhanced under Sanchez' leadership. In addition, the company will be leveraging input from end users around privacy and security issues with the development of its Security Advisory Council, also led by Sanchez.
It states that Sanchez brings with him nearly 20 years of IT leadership experience managing global security and architecture programs at Goldman Sachs and Bristol-Myers Squibb. He earned his Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification in 2000 and serves as a member of both the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force and the FBI InfraGard team. Most recently, Sanchez served as Director of the global Security Portfolio at Unisys Corporation, developing and delivering secure solutions for cloud and data center transformation.
The company mentions that as a provider of cloud computing for growth companies in Europe, it is forming a Security Advisory Panel, made up of customers and partners and led by Sanchez, to help guide the company's security investments and focus. Sanchez and his team will also be available to assist customers with their security, privacy and risk concerns around cloud.
According to Christoph Streit, CTO and Co-founder of ScaleUp Technologies, "Since the adoption of cloud computing in Europe is still rather slow and many companies have doubts about the security of cloud computing, we decided to take the lead and showcase that cloud computing can be secure, if done correctly." Streit went on to add, "Scott Sanchez is a known thought leader in the area of cloud security and his experience, reputation and credentials are a great addition to the ScaleUp team. We expect he will add tremendous value for our clients and partners."
"ScaleUp has made security a key component of its product strategy, starting with the decision to use the innovative cloud computing and security features built into the 3Tera AppLogic platform from CA Technologies, and following through with additional security features across the entire ScaleUp cloud platform. As a security professional, walking into this type of security-from-the-ground-up environment allows me to focus my energy on supporting the future needs of our customers," Sanchez said. "Our goal is for ScaleUp to form strong partnerships with our customers around security and privacy - offering the advice, solutions and transparency they need to safely embrace cloud computing."
