TAC Security Founder & CEO Trishneet Arora and former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas address leaders on strengthening public sector cyber resilience.

SANTA FE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberSandia, a New Mexico-based cybersecurity firm owned by TAC Security, brought together state cybersecurity leaders and public sector professionals for a discussion on evolving cyberthreats and strengthening the security of government services.

The gathering was addressed by Trishneet Arora, Founder & CEO of TAC Security, and Hector Balderas, former Attorney General of New Mexico and a member of TAC Security’s U.S. Board of Directors. Bruce Oakeley, Director of CyberSandia, and Aaron Frankel, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of CyberSandia, also shared their perspectives on cybersecurity challenges facing public sector organizations.

The engagement provided a forum for government and cybersecurity leaders to exchange views on protecting public systems, strengthening preparedness and making cybersecurity capabilities more accessible to agencies.

Trishneet Arora, Founder & CEO of TAC Security, said: “Cybersecurity in the public sector is ultimately about protecting people—their information, the services they depend on and their trust in government. Through CyberSandia, we are bringing TAC Security’s global expertise closer to New Mexico’s agencies. Our focus is to help public sector leaders identify risk, prioritize action and access the capabilities they need to build stronger, more resilient digital services.”

Trishneet Arora reflected on TAC Security’s deep connection with New Mexico, where the company began its U.S. journey in Albuquerque in 2018 before growing into a global cybersecurity leader.

Hector Balderas, former Attorney General of New Mexico and a member of TAC Security’s U.S. Board of Directors, said: “Protecting New Mexico’s digital infrastructure requires collaboration between government leaders and cybersecurity professionals who understand the responsibilities of public service. This engagement is an opportunity to strengthen that collaboration and support agencies working to safeguard our communities.”
