Pittsburgh, PA / 30 Jan 2024 – Echelon Risk + Cyber, a cybersecurity professional services firm, today announced their vCISO-Led Security Team as a Service (STaaS), designed for any mid-sized organization seeking to advance their cybersecurity posture and minimize organizational risk. The service features a complete team of cybersecurity pros, delivered as-a-service, and led by an experienced vCISO (virtual chief information security officer).

Dan Desko, CEO & Managing Partner at Echelon Risk + Cyber, was recently quoted on an article by Yahoo! News on App security for teens:

“I think they should have looked at that before the app went out because if you’re going to gear something toward middle and high school students, you have to think like a parent. I said ‘oh no, here’s another app that people will be up and arms about.’ To me, it was just like ‘here we go again.’ It feels like this happens quite a bit, and it’s hard to keep up with it all,”

“We are excited and humbled to add someone of Chad’s caliber to our already high-performing team,” said Dan Desko, CEO of Echelon Risk + Cyber. “His unparalleled leadership combined with deep cybersecurity expertise and exemplary service to our country make him the perfect match for Echelon and our clients as we double down on our commitment to protect the basic human right to security and privacy.”

Ross Flynn, Cybersecurity Manager at Echelon Risk + Cyber, gets quoted in an article by Worklife on why cybersecurity professionals require more mental health support now more than ever:

"While organizations can create cultures that foster good mental health practices, it is still up to us as cybersecurity practitioners to practice good boundaries, spend time with loved ones, take breaks when needed and make time for other hobbies outside the field.”

Paul Matvey, Cybersecurity Manager at Echelon Risk + Cyber, gets quoted on an article by CyberNews on the aftermath of the LastPass hack:

"One of the concerning things about the LastPass breach is that some of the metadata fields were not encrypted, such as the URLs of sites visited by the users. Therefore, threat actors have an inventory of many services you use and secrets you possess, which gives them greater intelligence to use in targeted attacks"

"As a Partner at Echelon, I hope to play an integral role in building a top-notch professional services firm that provides a unique, fulfilling, and dynamic company culture and an experience that both our team and clients will undoubtedly enjoy.”
