archTIS Ltd has appointed Nick Main as the company’s new chief security officer (CSO).
Main, who is currently AR9’s chief architect, defining and executing archTIS technology strategy, will support the company’s security strategy and practices across its people, products and infrastructure.
AR9 is a global provider of innovative software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information. The company’s award-winning data-centric information security solutions protect the world’s most sensitive content in government, defence, supply chain, enterprises and regulated industries through attribute-based access and control (ABAC) policies.
Delivering AR9’s security program
The new CSO has more than 20 years of senior level experience in Australian Government, Defence and law enforcement managing technology strategy, security, architecture, technical consultancy, and high tempo technical project delivery within complex and high security environments.
He is well positioned to lead AR9’s security program, with deep expertise in security and defence mandates.
Main's priority is to ensure ÁR9 and its products adhere to the highest levels of security to protect its infrastructure and assets, as well as customer information from physical and cyber threats.
Main will replace AR9 founder Bruce Talbot as he transitions into retirement.
“The archTIS board recognises information security as one of our top priorities, and the importance of protecting our company and client’s assets,” CEO and managing director Daniel Lai commented.
“With his deep domain expertise in securing government and defence environments, Nick is perfectly suited to lead archTIS’ security and information strategy and practices to meet our mission of being trusted to safeguard the world’s most sensitive information.”
Main’s role as CSO will complement his role as chief architect and demonstrates the importance to archTIS that security risk is managed as a foundation of the company’s information management strategy, product development and data centric security program.
