A Strategic Move to Prioritize Cybersecurity

At Forthright, cybersecurity isn’t just an add-on — it’s a core focus. With Forthright Cyber, we’re expanding and unifying our resources to offer even stronger protection for our clients’ data, operations, and reputations.

“We’re excited to introduce Forthright Cyber,” says Rory Sanchez, CEO of Forthright. “Although we’ve been offering cybersecurity solutions for years, this new division underscores our dedication to this vital aspect of business. We are no longer just an MSP offering cybersecurity; our services now stand on par with our managed IT solutions.”

Introducing Heath Gieson as Chief Information Security Officer

Leading this new division is Heath Gieson, who joins as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). With his extensive experience in cybersecurity, Heath will drive Forthright Cyber’s mission to protect organizations from the ever-growing risks of cyberattacks.

“By consolidating our security resources under one division, we can serve your organization more effectively and deliver even stronger security services,” Gieson explains. This approach ensures that clients receive enhanced protection across endpoints, networks, users, and SaaS applications.

 

A Comprehensive and Unified Cybersecurity Solution

Forthright Cyber offers a fully-managed cybersecurity solution that includes 24×7 Security Operations Center (SOC) coverage. We provide real-time security insights and give our clients a comprehensive view of their attack surfaces. By automatically collecting and analyzing data from across their networks, we ensure they’re fully protected at all times.

“Security is complex. Tools alone are not enough,” says Frank Merino, COO of Forthright. “It requires a comprehensive approach and deep expertise to ensure our clients are fully protected. We navigate and simplify those complexities, so our clients don’t have to.”

But Forthright Cyber goes beyond traditional cybersecurity measures. It’s not just about antivirus software, firewalls, or endpoint protection. Our holistic approach also includes essential services like employee security awareness training, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and password management solutions. We partner with clients to assess the risks within their businesses and provide tailored guidance to mitigate those risks effectively.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, businesses need a trusted partner that delivers not just the tools, but the expertise and strategy to stay ahead.

“This is an all-encompassing solution,” says Sanchez. “With Forthright Cyber, you’re simply protected.”
