Everfox establishes advisory board

On October 28, Everfox, formerly Forcepoint Federal, announced the members of its newly established executive advisory board. The new board, which is composed of individuals with significant government agency, defense, and commercial experience, will be focused on providing Everfox leadership with strategic guidance and knowledge that will enable the company to continue its rapid growth within the United States federal and commercial markets and to assist its customers worldwide.

“Everfox has been defending the world’s most critical data and networks against the most complex cyber threats imaginable for more than 25 years,” said Sean Berg, CEO of Everfox. “We thank the inaugural members of our newly established executive advisory board for lending the incredible depth and breadth of their experience and expertise in support of the company’s unwavering dedication and commitment to our customers’ critical mission.”

Marianne Bailey, cybersecurity leader and a member of the advisory board with extensive experience in the NSA and DoD, said: “We live in this massively dynamic world today where we’re communicating in classified spaces, unclassified spaces and foreign partner spaces, and without defense-grade innovations like Everfox’s Cross Domain Solutions, we don’t have the ability to do that safely and securely.”

“When I was invited to join the advisory board for Everfox, I immediately saw a tremendous opportunity to make a positive impact in the future of this company,” said Michael Mestrovich, who has former experience in the CIA, Department of State, DIA and United States Air Force. “I had a long experience in government using Everfox products and really believe that from a cyber defense perspective of protecting national security and national secrets, they really have a lot of technology that is top-notch and that the government really depends on to perform their functions every single day.”
