Tom Gordon

CIO, Virtua

Security has become a necessary and critical strategic pillar for our organization, and it is too broad and complex for a provider organization to keep up with on their own. Having a partner like CynergisTek with depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise is a crucial asset for our organization. I can’t imagine navigating these issues without them.

CynergisTek’s social engineering and phishing service was an excellent training tool for our organization. A third-party assessment of how our policies and procedures would stack up against a real threat was eye-opening and provided us with valuable information we can leverage to continue to enhance our security posture.

We just had our Incident Response exercise and I wanted to let you know that I have received a lot of positive feedback from all participants including our Executives and Board Members. Everyone was impressed at how the exercise was well-prepared and conducted. Obviously, it goes to your leadership. You were able to relate to all participants, ask the right questions, and in general keep the exercise going forward. You did a great job! Thank you so much CynergisTek!
