ATLANTA, Feb. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LIGATT Security
International, (LGTT) a premier cyber security company, announced
today the appointment of recently retired FBI Special
Agent, Gregory Scott, as the company's newest Chairman for
LSI's Board of Director.
Scott, a 23 year veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), recently retired from the Los
Angeles office. Scott worked in Los Angeles and the Washington, D.C. area, where he held many
leadership positions in administration and conducted
criminal investigations. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan where he received his
Bachelor of Arts in General Studies with a concentration in
Accounting. He recently managed a cyber squad task force that
investigated the exploitation and sexual abuse of children in
Southern California, resulting in
successful outcomes and awards from the
United States Attorney's Office.
Scott comments, "I am very honored to join LIGATT Security's
Board of Directors. This opportunity could not have happened at a
better time. I have known Mr. Evans for 5 years. Before building a
solid relationship with Mr. Evans I reviewed his background, and I
can say that the rumors about Mr. Evans are unsubstantiated and
without merit. He is an authentic, hard working and
talented individual."
Recognized and commended as a team leader, Scott led an
inspection team that audited FBI field offices throughout
the United States to evaluate
efficiency and effectiveness of the financial management function.
He supervised the Los Angeles FBI "Innocent Images" National
Initiative Undercover Operation and consulted with the Office of
International Operations. This program achieved 54 arrests, 29
Information and Indictments, and 33 convictions. Scott
is currently the lead liaison with local and federal
authorities stemming from the attempted computer security
attack on LIGATT Security.
"I was pleased when Mr. Scott and I spoke almost a year ago
about him joining the Board of Directors," says
Gregory Evans, President and CEO of
LIGATT Security International. "He brings a lot of
value, education, connections and experience to
LSI. The wealth of knowledge he has provided in the last
week alone could not be learned in a classroom. By
summer of this year, our board will include: former law
enforcement, business and marketing professionals, in addition to
retired Military Intelligent officers."
More information about our newest Board of Director will be
released at our press conference.
