He will lead the sales & expansion strategy essential to supporting RangeForce’s current explosive growth. Gordon joins at an exciting time for the global cybersecurity training market. An annual global study of cybersecurity professionals by the Information Systems Security Association and Enterprise Strategy Group reports that 91% of cybersecurity professionals believe that most organizations are vulnerable to a significant cyber-attack. 94% believe that the balance of power is with cyber-adversaries over cyber-defenders.
