“Robert’s leadership, experience, and skillsets are well-timed and uniquely suited for Concertium, as the company broadens its services portfolio to address these expanding growth opportunities and cements its position as an industry leader.”
In his new role as CEO, Atherton will lead the company’s growth and expansion efforts to meet this increasing market demand. Concertium has also recently expanded its portfolio of security and compliance services, created a new dedicated Security Operations Team, and is also expanding its customer success, sales and marketing teams to provide additional support.
Concertium holds a unique position as one of the region’s largest and most advanced consolidated solutions, providing mid and larger sized businesses with a “Complete Cybersecurity & IT Partner” to achieve a compliant, secure business environment as they continue upon their IT and digital transformation journey. Furthermore, amid a record number of corporate data breaches, disruptive ransomware attacks and increasing (and often duplicative) federal and state regulations, Concertium plays a critical role in helping companies to manage their increasingly complex attack surfaces and to remediate sophisticated cyber attacks quickly and effectively if and when they occur. The company’s compliance and consulting services also play an invaluable role in ensuring customers meet their increasingly complex reporting requirements.
