Security operations and cyber threat intelligence firm Cosive has appointed Prescott Pym as a Principal Security Consultant.
Based in Canberra, Prescott will be responsible for growing Cosive's professional services client base and helping drive the go-to-market strategy for its SaaS offerings, including CloudMISP, MalwareZoo, and Antifraud.
Prescott brings over 25 years of experience running Security Operations Centres (SOCs) globally and recently helped lead the national threat intelligence sharing program in Australia.
Prior to joining Cosive, Prescott was a Principal Consultant for Cyber Security at Deloitte Australia, where he worked on large-scale, nationally significant cyber projects.
He has also served as a global leader in Verizon’s Managed Security Services and has played pivotal roles in establishing Security Operations Centres in Australia, India, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and the USA.
“With his extensive background in cyber threat intelligence and security operations, Prescott brings a wealth of expertise to guide our strategic initiatives," said Cosive Managing Director Terry MacDonald.
"We are very pleased to have him join the team as he will bring tremendous value to our customers and support our ongoing regional growth."
Meanwhile, Prescott said he has known Cosive’s senior management team for "many years".
"The cyber industry across Australia is quite interlinked, so you don't have to go far to find where Cosive has had an impact," he added.
"I'm really passionate about how communities help people and organisations grow and create something special that can't be done in isolation. I've seen Cosive work actively in this space, sharing knowledge at conferences, demonstrating best practices in their work, and supporting broader communities for the greater good. I'm really excited about what the future might hold as we collaborate together with our customers."
