Sekur Private Data, a Swiss-hosted cybersecurity and defense communications company, has appointed Lieutenant General Raymond Palumbo, U.S. Army (Retired), as Chairman of its Strategic Advisory Board to guide the company’s expansion into military, defense, and government communications markets.
A decorated three-star general with 34 years of uniformed service, General Palumbo completed his military career as Director for Defense Intelligence and Commander of the Pentagon’s Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force. He also served as Assistant Commanding General of the Joint Special Operations Command, Deputy Commanding General of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and Commander of U.S. Army Alaska. Following his retirement, he founded Venturi Solutions LLC and currently serves on the boards of ELTA North America, W.S. Darley & Company, Quantum Systems, and Tekscend Photomasks.
General Palumbo will work in close coordination with Sekur’s recently appointed Chief Technology Officer, John T. Lewis, a 34-year CIA Senior Intelligence Service executive, to align Sekur’s technology roadmap with defense and government market requirements and advance the company’s positioning as a trusted platform for Controlled Unclassified Information protection.
The Miami-based company offers a suite of defense-grade secure communications products, including SekurMail, SekurMessenger, SekurVPN, SekurRelay, and SekurVoice, all built on proprietary architecture with zero reliance on Big Tech infrastructure and supported by on-premises infrastructure options for full data sovereignty.
KEY QUOTES:
Secure communications is not an abstract concept for me — it is a mission-critical operational requirement I lived every day for 34 years in the military. Sekur has built a defense-grade secure communications platform that addresses exactly those requirements — with both Swiss-hosted and data sovereign on-premises infrastructure for government and agencies requirements, proprietary architecture, and zero reliance on systems that adversaries have already demonstrated they can exploit.
Lt. Gen. Raymond Palumbo, Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board, Sekur Private Data
The appointment of Lt. Gen. Raymond Palumbo as Chairman of our Strategic Advisory Board is a defining moment for Sekur. His 34-year career leading special operations forces, commanding defense intelligence at the Pentagon, and advising the highest levels of the U.S. defense establishment gives Sekur a level of military credibility and strategic access that simply cannot be manufactured.
Alain Ghiai, CEO, Sekur Private Data
