Paterson. “He is an expert in the laws of war and how future warfare will impact both government and private sector security and continuity of operations. Beyond serving his country, Bryan has advised numerous startups and Fortune 500 companies. On behalf of Plurilock and our shareholders, I’d like to welcome Bryan to the Company.”
“A global cyber conflict between democracy and authoritarianism is already under way and, make no mistake, government and private-sector critical infrastructure is in our enemies’ crosshairs. Cybersecurity now is national security,” said Bryan Cunningham. “Plurilock’s comprehensive platform, coupled with their unwavering commitment to protecting sensitive systems and information, aligns with my own devotion to safeguarding national security. Their unique ability to offer a scalable platform catering to any organization’s needs sets them apart, and their trusted relationships set them up for success. I’m thrilled to join the Industry Advisory Council and contribute to securing our cyber future.”
