Marshall’s deep experience in understanding the origin, impact and aftermath of security incidents involving sensitive data ties directly to Spirion’s mission of protecting what matters most. His military background and experience working consulting, intelligence, and engineering, combined with executive roles at Mandiant (now Google) and DTEX Systems provide the type of actionable deep insights coupled with business understanding our customers are looking for.
Organizations need to protect their most sensitive asset – their data, and Spirion is step one of that protection. Marshall shares that belief. The challenge in front of organizations and Spirion is large and will require a broad network of security providers and proven processes. Marshall’s experience combines both, and we’re thrilled to have his leadership on our Board.
