Sophos gains security supremo from NAI's loss
Graham Cluley is latest to leave in post take-over blues at Dr
Solomon's
Anti-virus expert Graham Cluley is joining Sophos to take up the
post of senior technology consultant. Cluley left his position as
security guru at Network Associates (NAI) to join Sophos because of
its superior customer service and research team. He was previously
at Dr Solomon's which was taken over by NAI in August, 1998.
As an international security specialist with almost ten years'
experience in the anti-virus industry, Cluley will bring his
knowledge of the security market to Sophos's industry-renowned
research team. He will also give presentations on security issues
and advise on both technical and marketing matters.
"The dramatic reduction in support and service levels since NAI
acquired Dr Solomon's, shows how customers bear the brunt of
takeover upheavals," said Graham Cluley. "I decided to join Sophos
not only because of its superb product line, but because the
service doesn't stop once a sale has been made. In my opinion,
Sophos is the only anti-virus vendor to offer outstanding customer
support."
"I'll be using my experience of product and marketing from NAI
and Dr Solomon's to increase awareness of the already successful
Sophos brand. With the heightened interest in IT security due to
viruses such as Melissa and CIH, I expect to be very busy," he
continued.
