Secured Communications welcomes Tom Patterson to its Board of Directors

Secured Communications has announced internationally renowned cybersecurity expert Tom Patterson as its newest board member.

Tom Patterson is a trusted strategic advisor on cyber and critical infrastructure security issues to corporations, governments, and the international community. He has served as a senior security executive at Deloitte, IBM, and Unisys, where he worked with leadership teams to defend many of the world’s critical enterprises, protecting national borders, transacting trillions of dollars per day, delivering energy to millions, securing global air transit, and providing healthcare to entire populations.

Patterson said: “While enterprises are increasing the security of their core infrastructures, it’s crucial that they also better secure the way they now use video conferencing, group messaging, and file sharing.  Secured Communications’ Mercury Workspace is built from a core of advanced security and extended to meet the unified communications and collaboration (UCC) needs of today.”

Patterson has advised the FBI, Homeland Security, and the White House on security issues, and currently holds a Top-Secret clearance.  He served as the Co-Lead for the White House’s NSTAC Cyber Moonshot subcommittee, which outlines an actionable plan for a safe and secure Internet for critical infrastructure by the end of this decade. He is a guest security expert on national and international media outlets including CNBC, Fox, BBC and CNN, and a frequent speaker at events including TEDx, World Economic Forum, Davos, Blackhat, Gartner, and many other high-level government and industry events around the world.

Secured Communications’ suite of products protects information that is shared online with the most advanced and intuitive encrypted solutions. Its platform, Mercury Workspace, allows users to host ultra-secure HD video conferences, make secure calls, send messages, and share files of unlimited size seamlessly, all within a single application interface for desktop and mobile.
