I have been working with Tony for the past two years on our Cyber security training and awareness. His understanding of the cyber realm allowed him to tailor training for our various audiences. He also facilitated a number of Phishing Masterclasses with our staff that allowed them to ask relevant questions and obtain a better understanding of how they can become victims of phishing attacks. His flexibility and absolute professionalism is what sets him apart.
