Herald: ATOM works to safeguard NH

PORTSMOUTH (by: Paul Briand)

The internet is an increasingly menacing place. Within that environment, it’s not enough to create software, then build protections from attack around it, according to Jason Sgro, senior partner at the ATOM Group. Software needs to have the protections built into it as the software is built, he said.

“You can’t build software without security. We fundamentally reject the idea that you can build software and then hire somebody to secure it,” said Sgro, who is also Atom’s chief of strategy. “You have to build it with security in mind. That’s the only way that you build security ecosystems. Digging moats around things is never going to work, you’ll forever be in an endless loop of digging moats, and somebody will always find a way across.”

ATOM (www.theatomgroup.com) is a Portsmouth-based company with three principles as part of its business mission: Software, security and leadership
