“It will add mindfulness to the way employees perform their jobs with a security first mentality,” says Brian Arellanes, Founder and CEO of ITSourceTEK, when asked about the role of cybersecurity in business transformation. As best known as a seasonal entrepreneur and a security leader, Arellanes believes in the importance of security training for every employee at every level to protect their respective companies from any possible breach. Moreover, “From a higher level, corporations must have the right processes, tools, and awareness to meet compliance requirements for the protection of their employee and customer data.”

Having an extensive experience in security supporting for large DoD secured facilities, Arellanes helped in building teams for the U.S. Navy to create software for top secret weather based war planning programs. Besides that he worked in leading financial companies where his teams won the highest level of customer satisfaction in bank history to that date. After serving in the National Security, he started ITSourceTEK to disrupt the security industry and give back to the community. ITSourceTEK is one of the first technology leaders to create and adopt a data-centric security approach and leverage Cloud to automate IT functions. “We take a unique approach to help companies securely protect their data and securely move their workloads to the Cloud.” Apart from securing data on endpoints, big data lakes, enterprise and custom applications, and systems, the company provides several encryption, masking, and tokenization technologies. “Our technologies can be selected to secure our client environments based on their compliance requirements. Additionally, we enable migrating our clients’ off-antiquated compliance systems that have costly 7 figure maintenance and even more costly customization.” Their GRC platform help automate everything all the way down to compliance reporting for various or multiple frameworks, which truly empowers companies and their compliance organizations.
