I could immediately add value and help the organisation reach its goal of becoming a world-class organisation . Since then I have been working to improve the organisation ’ s cybersecurity posture from one with limited security capabilities to one that has a fully operational security function that is both sustainable for the business and aligns with its objectives .
“ At Sonesta , we have adopted a hybrid approach , supported by a managed detection and response solution in partnership with an organisation called ReliaQuest . With our unique workforce , my team and I are solely focused on cybersecurity , whether that ' s risk management , privacy , compliance , or endpoint detection and response , our goal is to ensure that we develop a cybersecurity program that aligns with the business .”
