Hide AdECSC’s vision is to expand its blue-chip client base with particular emphasis on Managed Services recurring revenue.
Mr Mathewson said the market for cyber security services remains largely fragmented.
“Many of our competitors still only provide a small portion of the services required to meet clients’ needs whilst, in contrast, ECSC provides a full suite of cyber and information security solutions, offering a compelling client partnership proposition,” he said.
