Orthus Limited today appointed Sean Bennett to head up their sales operations worldwide. Prior to joining Orthus, Sean was the Global Business Development Manager at Market Clusters and the former UK Sales Manager for MessageLabs.

Announcing the appointment, Richard Hollis Managing Director of Orthus said "We are delighted that Sean has joined our team. His successful track record in Managed Security Services, combined with his understanding of the wider information security services and solutions marketplace, will be of tremendous value as we expand both our customer base and the portfolio of services we provide."

"I was looking for a new challenge" said Sean "Orthus stood out in the market for me due to their sound reputation, overall experience and innovative approaches to solving client problems. I genuinely believe there is a real opportunity to build on the Orthus success to date and establish new service offerings that help customers cost effectively mitigate the information security risks they face - adding value in the areas of process improvement and cost reduction."

Building on their existing market leading security testing services and consulting offerings, Orthus are taking the lead in insider threat and compliance management solutions. Effective solutions in these areas, whilst becoming increasingly necessary, are difficult to develop. Vendor and service provider offerings have evolved over the last few years but are typically still beyond the reach of most companies.

Sean believes that the maturing market will present organisations of all sizes with the opportunity to take advantage of these enabling services.
