SecureWorks was founded in 1999 to protect organizations from Internet threats. Today, SecureWorks is a leading provider of world-class information security services, with over 2,700 clients worldwide. SecureWorks delivers exceptional security services in three areas: managed security services, threat intelligence and security, and risk consulting. Positioned in the Leader's Quadrant of Gartner's Magic Quadrant for managed security services providers, SecureWorks has been named to the Inc. 500 and Deloitte lists of fastest-growing companies.

Such growth and success has been attributable in no small part to Mike Cote, who became chairman and CEO of SecureWorks in February of 2002. Prior to joining SecureWorks, Mr. Cote held executive positions with Talus Solutions, a pricing and revenue management software firm acquired by Manugistics in 2000. Mr. Cote joined Talus from MSI Solutions, a web application development and systems integration company where he was Chief Operating Officer. In addition to other technology executive roles, Mike Cote's early career included international assignments with KPMG.

Mike Cote's leadership style is punctuated by open communication, high integrity, and a client-centric philosophy. A certified public accountant and member of Business Executives for National Security, Mr. Cote is a graduate of Boston College with a double major in computer science and accounting.

In the 10 years since SecureWorks' founding, the need to protect companies and their systems and intellectual assets from hackers, pirates, cyberterrorists and other Internet threats has grown exponentially.  Please come and meet Mike Cote and hear his thoughts and plans for this Atlanta technology leader.
