Entara, an industry-leading eXtended Service Provider (XSP), announces the promotion of Raum Sandoval to Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
As CISO, Sandoval will be responsible for continually advancing Entara’s security posture. He will support the firm as it evolves as an XSP and will focus on integrating various security products and services, as well as governance, risk, and compliance platforms, for both Entara and its customers.
“When Raum joined Entara, his dedication to excellence was evident,” said Pam Diaz, CEO and President of Entara. “As the Director of Managed Services, he focused on day-to-day operations with a security focus. This experience prepared him for success in his role as Deputy CISO. Raum has an unparalleled understanding of Entara’s offerings and a clear vision of how to evolve our growing security posture. I know he will continue to bring significant value to our firm and clients in his new role.”
During Sandoval’s time as Deputy CISO, he led Entara’s Security Integration team, which focuses on enhancing Entara’s security offering portfolio and integrating it within cloud and on-premise infrastructures. He also created and enhanced standards, processes, and systems that incorporated monitoring and logging, proactive maintenance, business continuity, disaster recovery, resiliency and incident response.
“I am incredibly excited to move into the CISO role at Entara,” said Sandoval. “In our connected world, it is imperative that companies are not only securing their own infrastructure but also demanding a high standard from the companies they interact with – whether your business is five or 50,000 users. As cyber security needs endlessly develop and increase in importance and complexity, I am dedicated to keeping Entara ahead of the curve as I lead our in-house team of experts.”
Sandoval has over 15 years of experience managing and supporting IT for hundreds of companies, from small and medium businesses to Fortune 500 companies, across multiple sectors. Through his work, Sandoval puts businesses in the position to scale and grow, while keeping security at the forefront. His background includes a diverse expertise in Systems, Network, and Cloud Architecture, which has given him an edge in being able to set forth real-world policies as well as effective adherence and compliance to those policies.
