Secure collaboration of sensitive information specialist archTIS Limited (ASX: AR9) is launching a dedicated Federal Sales and Channel Practice in the US to meet increased government demand for advanced information protection solutions.
As part of this new initiative, the company has added Bill Kalogeros, a 25-year US federal sales professional and US veteran, to the archTIS leadership team as Director, Federal and Defense Industry Base. Riley Repko, a 30-year technology industry specialist, will serve as a strategic consultant leveraging his experience as the former strategic advisor to the US Air Force Secretary and the US Chief of Staff and as a retired US Air Force Reserve senior officer and combat veteran.
“archTIS and its subsidiary Nucleus Cyber provide advanced data-centric information security solutions to enforce the secure collaboration of classified and top-secret information between government agencies, defense and their suppliers – anywhere,” said Kurt Mueffelmann, Global COO and US President of archTIS.
“Increased demand for secure collaboration solutions and rising nation-state threats have created a need to expand our team and establish a US Federal and Defense Sales and Channel practice to build on the company’s success in Australian defense agencies and supply chain markets.”
The archTIS portfolio of solutions protects against insider threats and ensure secure collaboration of sensitive, classified and top-secret content. Dynamic, attribute-based access control (ABAC) enables fine grained security to reduce risk and enforce zero trust at the file level.
