Cybis appoints Judson Brandt as chief executive officer

MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cybis LLC announced that its Board of Directors has elected Judson (Jud) Brandt as its Chief Executive Officer.  

A leading technology influencer, Brandt has a strong background in building high-growth technology consulting practices and developing robust information strategies and capabilities for some of the world's largest companies. His proven operating and leadership experience, deep technology and cyber security expertise, and global business perspective will help grow Cybis into one of the industry's premier cyber security intelligence companies. 

"Businesses and communities worldwide are facing increasingly formidable and complex threats to keeping their information secure," said Brandt. "Every threat begins with a person, and every attack on a business or other high-value target begins with the prospect of creating advantage through theft of an asset or degradation of a target. These threats can no longer be addressed strictly by installing the latest software or tools, which is why I am so excited to bring Cybis to market to address this growing threat through advanced means currently not applied beyond the public sector."

Cybis is a partnership between Convergint Technologies, the global leader in service-based systems integration, and Orbis Operations, a customized intelligence and cyber security solutions provider. "We are excited to announce the addition of Jud Brandt as the leader of our cyber security team of former nation state protectors," said President and CEO of Convergint Technologies, Ken Lochiatto. "Jud's proven leadership skills will guide our Cybis team as they expand their tailored cyber security solutions throughout the world."

He most recently served as Chief Technology Officer for Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. His previous roles include Vice President, Business Consulting for Oracle; Managing Director, Technology Strategy and Architecture for Accenture; divisional CIO and eBusiness leader for Delta Air Lines; and Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
