Forwarded From: "Spencer, Will" <wspencert_private> Former Deputy Director of Security for the NRO Named New Trident Data Systems President LOS ANGELES (Sept. 30) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 30, 1998--Trident Data Systems, a globally recognized leader in information protection services, named former National Reconnaissance Office Deputy Director of Security Art Davis as the company's newest president. Following the announcement, Trident's executive staff remains intact, with former president Joe Parks stepping aside to concentrate solely on his chief executive officer duties. "The same captain is steering the ship, with the help of a new first mate," Parks said. Davis, a former Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, said he will put "considerable emphasis" on optimizing Trident's opportunities and potential in the commercial IP arena. "I see the commercial world waking up to the threats it faces from lack of network security," said Davis, who has nearly 30 years of security experience. "The potential for Trident to help solve these problems is tremendous." Trident grossed $87 million in 1997 offering secure technology solutions to both government and commercial customers. As director of Policy and Security at the Air Force's Office of Special Projects, Davis created the NRO Security Center in 1990, merging the CIA, Air Force and contractors into a well-disciplined, customer service-oriented organization. He was named NRO deputy director of Security in 1995. Davis joined Trident this past April as a vice president, after retiring from the government post. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomot_private with "subscribe isn".
