Kent joined WWT in 2001 at which time there was one small technical pre-sales team. Now there are thousands of engineering and architectural resources. Through the course of all of that growth, Kent has held leadership positions in the majority of the focus areas that have existed at WWT (Network, Security, Data Center, Collab, etc). For the past 10 years his entire focus has been helping customers navigate Cybersecurity. Growing segmentation, analytics, zero trust, cyber services… and currently: Cloud Security. Cloud native architectures and approaches are being adopted by virtually every enterprise organization on the planet. Public cloud and SaaS are also both on a rapid growth pace. This situation calls for a departure from many of the traditional approaches to reducing risk and achieving compliance and represents a massive amount of modern cyber innovation in the coming years.
