We look forward to working with Vince and the management team to grow the company in the years ahead” said Manish Thakur, Managing Partner of Option3Ventures.

Mr. Crisler expressed his confidence that this partnership will prove to be successful, commenting “I have been in the cyber industry for over 25 years now.
