CSO
Group
has
appointed
Matthew
Fedele-Sirotich
to
the
new
role
of
Chief
Technology
Officer
(CTO),
taking
lead
on
both
the
internal
and
external
technical
delivery
capability.
Prior
to
joining
CSO
Group,
Matthew
held
multiple
senior
technical
and
cyber
security
positions
across
the
NSW
Government
and
financial
services
industry.
Most
recently,
he
led
the
cyber
security
strategy
for
the
NSW
Department
of
Customer
Service
where
he
implemented
quick
and
appropriate
change
to
increase
the
maturity
and
reduce
risk
for
the
department.
Matthew
is
known
for
his
forward
thinking
and
innovative
strategies,
having
been
the
first
ever
globally
to
lead
a
complete
Spectra
Alliance
deployment,
a
zero
trust
integrated
solution
combining
technology
from
security
vendors
CrowdStrike,
Proofpoint,
Netskope,
and
Okta,
for
The
Department
of
Communities
and
Justice.
“Matthews’s
ability
to
look
beyond
a
single
problem,
to
deliver
operational
results
to
multiple
stakeholders
concurrently,
and
his
holistic
and
mature
approach
to
solving
current
cyber
security
challenges
is
what
anchors
him
as
the
right
person
for
us
here
at
CSO
Group,”
said
Michael
Simkovic,
CSO
Group’s
CEO.
“We
believe
deeply
that
whilst
we
leverage
best
of
breed
technology,
it
is
having
an
engaged,
talented,
and
deeply
connected
team
that
delights
customers.
CSO
looks
beyond
the
perimeter
of
a
technology
to
assist
in
demystifying
cyber
security
and
simplifying
end-to-end
thinking.”
Matthew
says
his
own
experience
as
a
customer,
CSO
Group’s
mix
of
business
and
technical
expertise,
and
strong
management
capability
of
security
environments
to
mitigate
risk
and
increase
cyber
maturity
were
key
factors
that
led
to
him
joining
the
company.
“Having
been
a
customer
of
CSO
Group,
when
the
opportunity
arose
to
be
a
part
of
the
organisation
I
leapt
at
the
opportunity.
The
organisation’s
premise
is
different
to
all
the
other
cyber
security
system
integrators
and
consultancies
I
have
worked
with.
They
are
transfixed
on
the
outcome
of
their
client’s
reputation,
bottom
line
and
privacy.
CSO
Group
truly
partners
and
put
this
above
its
own
benefit,”
said
Matthew
Fedele-Sirotich.
