SolarWinds MSP Hunts For New Security Chief Following Split
‘Tim [Brown, VP of Security] has been a fantastic advisor to the 25,000 MSPs that we have. So, we’re bummed. But we understand. So, we’re looking to see if we can clone him,’ says SolarWinds MSP President John Pagliuca. By Michael Novinson February 10, 2021, 03:38 PM EST
SolarWinds MSP will be forced to find a new security leader this spring as it spins out from SolarWinds and becomes an independent company.
Vice President of Security Tim Brown said the original plan was for him to continue with SolarWinds MSP following the split, at which point the remote monitoring and management vendor will be known as N-Able. But following the massive hack of the Orion network monitoring platform, Brown said the decision was made to have him stay with SolarWinds proper and task SolarWinds MSP with finding a new CISO.
