This quote by Fred Kofman sums up my passion for Fidelis: "Happiness and fulfillment do not come from pleasure but from meaning, from the pursuit of a noble purpose". There is no question that Fidelis is my noble purpose, which is why I am so devoted to this company and our people and anyone within our circle of influence. I'm proud of our underlying values (integrity is built into the meaning of our name). I'm proud of our mission to do everything it takes to be a trusted partner to our customers (how can you be in charge of cybersecurity and not be trustworthy?). And most importantly, I'm prouder than proud of each and every Fidelis employee. Providing Managed IT Service means that our customers rely on us to be brilliant and knowledgeable and assiduously work on their behalf. Our Fidelis people work really hard and care deeply about our commitments to our customers. And dang if they aren't smart! Most people would be shocked to learn that much of what happens to make airplanes land and take off at Seatac is a result of our IT team's expertise in airline navigation systems and managing their complicated projects. For reals. They can't talk publicly about it, and can't wave their own flags, but I can brag on them.If there was one thing I could plant in the minds of everyone who is responsible for their organization, and therefore the livelihoods of their employees and the well being of their own customers, it is this: your IT infrastructure is critical to safeguarding yourself from cyber crime. Each human being that works for you is a critical part of your security. We call employees the "human firewall" because cyber criminals use human psychology as their best weapon to penetrate networks and wreak havoc and drain bank accounts. If you train your people to know how to avoid cyber attacks, that is one of your best defenses to protect your company. Invest the time to train your Human Firewall!
