A sharp focus on critical infrastructure protection and advanced cyber security has led Telcordia to name Brent Greene as the new group president of the company’s Advanced Technology Solutions group.
Greene has a strong background in security, communications, cyber integration, critical infrastructure and emergency preparedness. Since 2007, Greene was vice president of National Security Communications and director of Cyber Integration for Northrop Grumman Information Systems (NGIS) Civil Systems. There he was responsible for advancing public safety initiatives, wireless interoperability, cyber security, smart grid, industrial control systems security, IT coordination and critical infrastructure protection business.
Prior to NGIS, Greene held executive management positions with Lucent Technologies and Bell Labs Innovations, and the Department of Homeland Security. During this time, Greene helped create and drive the President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, often referred to as the “cyber commission."
Greene said there is no doubt that mobility and mobile broadband will forever change the world as we know it. “My top priority will be to draw on our collective experience to further strengthen the company’s cyber security and CIP business, especially in the federal sector, to protect this country’s vital interests," he said.
Mark Greenquist, president and CEO of Telcordia, said the company has been heavily engaged with the industry dynamics around mobile broadband, IP convergence, cyber security and ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure elements and was eager to find the right fit for the head of this group. “In Brent Greene, we found the ideal combination of communications and security expertise and real-life experience with integrating IP broadband, wireless, wireline, satellite and radio systems for civil and federal government applications," he said.
