iCOUNTER provides cybersecurity technology focused on third-party risk intelligence and counter-threat operations. Its CTOS platform is designed to help organizations identify and respond to risks across vendors, suppliers, partners, and connected systems.
The platform combines third-party risk intelligence, continuous monitoring, Third-Party Detection and Response, and counter threat operations to help organizations strengthen supply chain security and respond to potential threats across their extended ecosystems.
FitzPatrick’s appointment comes as iCOUNTER seeks to build the financial infrastructure needed to support increased demand for its cybersecurity platform and long-term growth.
KEY QUOTES:
“With nearly half of all breaches involving third parties, iCOUNTER is addressing one of cybersecurity’s most urgent challenges: the threats emerging across third-party ecosystems, where organizations have the least visibility and control. What sets iCOUNTER apart is its ability to turn threat intelligence into decisive action. I’m excited to join John and the team at this pivotal stage, building the financial foundation to accelerate growth and help more organizations counter threats before they become breaches.”
Mark H. FitzPatrick, Chief Financial Officer Of iCOUNTER
“Mark has spent his career helping category-defining companies scale, and he understands what it takes to turn rapid growth into durable, disciplined performance. As more organizations recognize that their greatest exposure sits across their vendors, suppliers, and partners – the demand for what we do is accelerating. Mark’s experience building and scaling businesses at the highest levels makes him the right leader to help us meet that demand with discipline.”
John Watters, Chairman And CEO Of iCOUNTER
