“We address physical, digital and cybersecurity within a single, integrated solution. Organizations today face threats that don’t respect those boundaries, and we’re built to respond to them the way they actually happen.” — William Phillips, President
Phillips brings more than 25 years of technology and security leadership to the role. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he was first introduced to information technology during his seven years of service. He went on to support infrastructure for Marine Corps Combat Operations Centers at General Dynamics, then led global network, telecom and IT M&A strategy at Matthews International. Most recently, Phillips spent nearly seven years at Vector Security, where he led the company’s Managed Services business specializing in network and cybersecurity, serving top retail clients and other verticals.
“We address physical, digital and cybersecurity within a single, integrated solution,” Phillips said. “Organizations today face threats that don’t respect those boundaries, and we’re built to respond to them the way they actually happen.”
Phillips leads a division that rebranded from Cipher to Prosegur Cybersecurity earlier this year, formalizing its alignment with parent company Prosegur, which generates approximately $6 billion in annual revenue and operates in more than 30 countries. Cipher’s regional operations outside North America are not affected by the change.
Under Phillips, the division continues to operate with a fully U.S.-based team, including its Security Operations Center, offering Managed Detection and Response, Managed Security Services, Red Team Services, and Governance, Risk and Compliance support. Its capabilities include monitoring more than one billion security events daily, managing hundreds of thousands of security assets, and protecting more than two million users worldwide.
“We’re actively growing our North American team and expanding coverage to meet a threat landscape that’s moving faster than most security programs can keep up with,” Phillips said. “Clients should expect to see continued investment here throughout the year.”
