BeCrypt has appointed Marc Hocking as Chief Architect to further
strengthen the company’s technical and product development division.
His broad experience of the security industry includes four years
working for the UK Government Cabinet Office where he worked closely
with US federal agencies and contractors in the US gaining a deep
understanding of the issues associated with global cross-border
security.
Whilst at the Cabinet Office Mr. Hocking was Deputy
Director – Technology for the eGovernment Unit and latterly was
Technical Architect/Security Architect for the Central Sponsor for
Information Assurance and Delivery and Transformation Group.
Before
working for the UK Government Mr. Hocking spent ten years in a variety
of roles within global financial institutions working on systems that
included authentication, authorisation, and privilege management
infrastructure. Of particular note was his role as Technical
Integration Architect for a PKI based identity management solution for
a major bank based in Singapore, Hong Kong and India. The system was
rolled out across eleven countries, and was acknowledged as the first
major PKI development in the world.
On joining BeCrypt, Mr.
Hocking commented, “I first came across BeCrypt while working at the
Cabinet Office. It seemed to be an innovative company which is unusual
in the IT security sector, and I was impressed with their commitment to
providing quality products that met customers’ requirements along with
excellent customer service. This is an exciting time in the data
security industry as at long last organisations’ are waking up to the
dangers of inadequate data security. I am looking forward to helping
BeCrypt take a significant role in providing trusted solutions to both
government and commercial sectors.”
David Holman, CEO of BeCrypt
commented, “We are delighted to welcome Marc to BeCrypt. His deep and
broad understanding of the data security market, and in particular, his
experience of working with overseas governments on cross-border
projects and his knowledge of PKI technology will be invaluable to
BeCrypt. He will be helping us to form future product strategy as well
as providing invaluable guidance for our customers with systems
architecture and security consultancy projects.”
