"As a researcher in Big Data and predictive analytics I know how these technologies will help identify anomalies inside organizations that indicate an active attack is happening. I was drawn to work with CyberFlow because of their team and solution," stated David Belanger. "CyberFlow is a pioneer and leader in using predictive analytics; has quickly established a presence in the security market; and is years ahead of other solutions. Other security vendors such as Cisco, in their latest security report published this week, are starting to talk about predictive analytics as a requirement. CyberFlow has developed an innovative and scalable approach to analytics that has the potential to lead the market in securing the enterprise and the Internet of Things. I am excited to help them continue their development and crusade to protect organizations from cyber-attacks."

David joins an established team of industry leaders at CyberFlow Analytics including Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi, former CIO/CTO of AT&T and also an AT&T Fellow.
