Executive Quotes
Robert
Rodriguez, Chairman and Founder of SINET
“The traditional
corporate debate of ‘build versus buy’ is no longer a debate. It’s a buy
market being driven by a dynamic attack environment. As a result, the
importance of accelerating innovation is imperative, not only for the
entrepreneur, but also for a higher calling – the national security and
economic interests of our country,” said Robert Rodriguez, Chairman and
Founder of SINET. “We congratulate the SINET 16 for helping shape,
influence and impact the future of the Cybersecurity domain.”
