Prior to launching Vigiles with Whitehead, Cartrett served as a principal consultant at Stratum Security, which specializes in application and cloud security. Like Whitehead, Cartrett has held leadership roles at Trustwave Spiderlabs and Secureworks.

Along with Whitehead and Cartrett, Jack L. Johnson Jr. is a board advisor at Vigiles. Johnson spent 25 years at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and was appointed its first chief security officer.

What the Future Holds for Vigiles

Vigiles is committed to helping organizations address their cybersecurity objectives and testing needs, the company said. Going forward, Vigiles will provide offensive security solutions and products to protect organizations' networks and systems against cyber threats.

Meanwhile, Vigiles does not currently offer a partner program for MSSPs and MSPs. The company may look to develop and launch a channel partner program in the future.
