High Wire Networks Inc., a provider of managed cybersecurity and IT enablement services, has appointed company director, Stephen LaMarche, to the position of chief operating officer.
LaMarche brings to the COO position more than 25 years of executive leadership for private and public companies, including extensive experience in operations management, product innovation, sales and marketing, finance and M&A.
LaMarche will oversee the operations of High Wire’s managed IT service offerings, including Overwatch by High Wire Networks™, the company’s managed cybersecurity business that has expanded by more than 400 percent to nearly 1,000 business customers over the past year. The company’s managed IT services are trusted by major high-profile channel partners and corporations operating worldwide, including multiple Fortune 100 companies.
Overwatch’s growth has been largely driven by the company’s innovative MSP partner program that has expanded to more than 200 channel partners globally, as well as the increasing demand for more effective and easier-to-manage cybersecurity solutions.
Underpinning this demand is the growing awareness of the benefits that can be derived from the operationalization of cybersecurity which creates a more efficient and capable security infrastructure. When properly implemented by High Wire’s cybersecurity experts, such operationalization results in a stronger security posture that is better able to address more advanced and continuously evolving cyber threats.
High Wire’s channel partners and growing user base has embraced the company’s defense-in-depth strategy of incorporating the management of multiple Overwatch cybersecurity tools. This has resulted in customers increasing their financial commitment following their initial engagement. High Wire also sees a growing trend of customers looking to combine their managed endpoint services and other tools into a singular cohesive solution, with this made possible through the integrative capabilities of Overwatch.
The comprehensive solution enables users to eliminate the noise and provides only high-fidelity, high-value alerts and incidents for review. As a subscription-based service, Overwatch requires no initial capital outlay and allows predictable costs to deploy, maintain and scale.
