Bristol technology firm BOM IT Solutions has appointed a new cyber security solutions director.
David Trump will head up the the company’s new IT division, which was formed to protect organisations against cyber-criminals exploiting the vulnerabilities of the hybrid workplace.
Mr Trump, who has more than 15 years’ experience in the industry, joins the 60-year-old family-run company from security solutions firm Phoenix Datacom. He also previously worked as a cyber specialist at BT.
“This has given me direct experience in understanding customer challenges and the types of tools and practices organisations need to mitigate risk,” he said. “I am thrilled to be a part of BOM IT Solutions, to shape the department to my vision, which is an exciting opportunity.”
Mr Trump’s first duties will see him set up and grow the IT security division of BOM IT Solutions, including looking at its existing vendor base to determine whether it still has relevance in the ever-changing security world.
“We are committed to achieving additional security certifications to illustrate our continued dedication to having the best internal security practices,” he added.
“There has been a shift recently from trying to keep the attackers out, to how to identify and remediate quickly when a breach occurs. We’re bringing in technologies… to provide an automated and orchestrated secure coverage across any sized business, which can quickly adapt to any threat.”
