Dr. Zangardi is currently the president of Redhorse Corporation and previously worked at Leidos as a senior vice president responsible for business initiatives and strategic partnerships. Prior to that he served for over three decades in government where he concluded with a presidential appointment as the CIO for the DHS.
“Whether your organization is a small business or a large enterprise, cybersecurity and controlling access will always be a top priority. As a three-time CIO of large federal organizations, I recognize that the frequency of data breaches is increasing,” said Dr. John Zangardi. “It is just a matter of time before our credentials and personally identifiable information (PII) are compromised. The right steps to protecting credentials and PII start with a paradigm shift from the decades-old identity access management practices that are proven insufficient. We need a platform that provides continuous authentication and is built on a robust AI/ML powered risk engine. Acceptto delivers the right security controls to protect against data breaches and ensures the right individuals are able to access required information when needed.”
