On 5 Minute Salute, our host Chris Budihas talks to veterans making a difference in their communities. Today, Chris has the honor to speak with Carmine Cicalese of CYBER CIC.
Short company description: Cybersecurity (but not IT) consulting for small and medium sized businesses with an emphasis on Registered Investment Advisors, Accounting and Law Firms.
How do you define success?: Helping a client keep cybersecurity boring – sleep well at night – understanding their own security posture
How did you get started in your field or work?: Follow on of a military career in communications and information warfare
What’s one thing we should know that makes your company unique?: We focus on the decision maker and tailor our efforts towards the decision makers understanding and processes as much as possible.
What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome in your business?: Government employment and government contracting are very different than general private business practices. I occasionally quipped that as a SDVOSB sometimes my ignorance from being in the government for 29 years was a hindrance.
