Taps Security Veteran to Help Clients Mitigate
Risk by Operationalizing Security
Datalink (NASDAQ:DTLK), a leading provider of data center
infrastructure and services, today announced the appointment of
20-year security consultant and practitioner Jason Rader to
spearhead the company’s new security practice as national practice
director, security services. The new practice area expands
Datalink’s services offerings to include security consulting and
implementation across the entire Datalink portfolio, from physical
infrastructure to data center relocation, data and application
migration, cloud deployment and beyond.
Rader has spent the last eight years at RSA in various senior
security capacities, most recently as Chief Security Strategist and
Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence. In those roles he managed
the strategic planning process and worked directly with clients to
develop solutions for security-related business problems while also
leading the RSA Research group in collecting intelligence related
to the latest cyber attacks and advanced threat groups. He has also
worked as a security architect and consultant, co-authored papers
on intelligence-driven security operations, keynoted international
security conferences, and is widely regarded as a thought leader in
the space.
At Datalink, the new security practice headed by Rader will join
the broad suite of services that the company has launched over the
past several years to support clients through the entire data
center lifecycle, help them navigate and manage complex new
technologies, and ensure that their technology investments deliver
tangible business results. Those results range from risk mitigation
– the primary goal of the company’s new security consulting
services as well as its existing disaster recovery planning
capabilities – to revenue growth, increased operational efficiency
and an improved client experience.
“Security concerns and associated spending are rising steadily
in response to today’s serious data breach incidents, governance
requirements, and the challenges of protecting data and networks in
the current business environment,” said Shawn O’Grady, chief
operating officer of Datalink. “We believe that as the premier data
center transformation company, Datalink is uniquely positioned to
help our clients meet these challenges. Jason’s expertise and
vision will help us to deliver on that promise.”
