Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Operations, Jay Wessland, has built a winning team of his own with the help of his Most Valuable Player, ReliaQuest.
Prior to partnering with ReliaQuest, security was becoming increasingly difficult to manage for the Celtics, due to limited in-house resources, competing priorities, and a nascent security team. Seeing those constraints, Wessland sought out global cybersecurity company ReliaQuest to help enhance the team’s internal efforts to progress detection and response.
Fast-forward to present day: the Celtics are proactively managing risk thanks to ReliaQuest’s unique approach of leading with technology while blending in people and process to help customers achieve their desired outcomes.
"The value of ReliaQuest lies in the breadth and depth of its offering. Other vendors wanted to lock me in to their specific products and suites, but ReliaQuest integrates with different tools to meet customer needs, as opposed to taking a one-size-fits-all approach. More importantly, the knowledge of their staff and engineers enables the best possible protection of our critical assets."
