Tracepoint partners with cyber insurance carriers, lawyers, brokers, and their clients respond to cyber incidents, delivering advanced cyber defense solutions to help clients defend against a growing number of debilitating cyber threats.
“I’m exceptionally proud of our team, the relationships they forge with clients, and the quality of work we deliver against the most significant cyber attacks,” said Chris Salsberry, Tracepoint’s chief executive officer.
