Simon Clark Founder
Simon has worked in the IT industry for over 30 years. Always working at the forefront of technology, for example; introducing ethernet to the market in the eighties, Switching & Routers in the nineties and solid-state firewalls in 2000.
Since then, as the Cyber landscape has rapidly evolved, Simon has been involved with protecting his customers from emerging attacks both inside and outside the network. Increasingly the focus has moved towards cloud and SaaS based tools to offer faster, better levels of security that can be managed more simply and cost effectively.
There is an increasing demand for security related certifications to demonstrate to customers that an organisation is safe to deal with. Simon has focussed his attention here - guiding customers through Cyber Essentials and ISO27001.
Simon has worked for both blue chip and start-ups over the years including Cisco and Brocade. During that time Simon has developed a unique understanding of the cyber technologies that are ever evolving and where they fit within enterprise company’s security strategies.
Founding FortNet in 2020 was a natural progression to doing what he loves and being able to offer independent advice and guidance to his customers. Bridging the gap between the customer’s core business and the confusing array of security solutions that need to be implemented.
“I believe most companies need help navigating the plethora of cyber vendors . Our aim is to take the legwork out and help our customers make better decisions.”
