I worked with Tony for 2 years as a Technical Sales Consultant within AT&T Cybersecurity. Tony’s knowledge and ability to clearly articulate the value and details of a given security solution were remarkable. He created custom presentations and interactive diagrams that precisely conveyed the technical and management capabilities of a given security service. Tony also led Proof of Concept (POC) deployments for Unified Security Management Anywhere (USMA) closely supporting the customers implementation and use of the service. This greatly improved customer adoption and satisfaction. Additionally, Tony regularly researched the threat landscape and incorporated current intelligence surrounding bad actors Tactics, Techniques and Processes (TTPs), campaigns, and actions into relevant recommendations tailored to a specific customer’s needs. Tony is a team player and makes himself available to his fellow teammates. As a result, Tony is a major asset to any cyber security sales organization.

This letter is my personal recommendation for Tony DeGonia. I have been working under Tony for a few years now. I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. Besides being a joy to work with, Tony is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. He has successfully developed several marketing plans for our company that have resulted in increased revenue. The new revenue was a direct result of the plans implemented by Tony. Though he was an asset to our marketing efforts, Tony was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to writing effective training modules for sales representatives, Tony assumed a leadership role in Company meetings, inspiring and motivating other employees.

I had the good fortune of working with Tony for almost two years. In that time, he worked hard to bring in and evangelize the product I represented, became active in our partner network and even served as a speaker at one of our events. He is an excellent public speaker and does a great job at pulling people into the conversation. In relationship selling, he is exactly the type of person you want in your corner - honest and direct, but also positive and optimistic about what can be done.

My Competencies

With over two decades of practical, hands-on experiencespanning both operational and business aspects, I've had the privilege of learning from some of the industry's finest professionals. This journey has led me to become a recognized Subject Matter Expert (SME) in several technologies that are reshaping the landscape of cybersecurity.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Security information and event management (SIEM) technology supports threat detection, compliance and security incident management through the collection and analysis (both near real time and historical) of security events, as well as a wide variety of other event and contextual data sources. The core capabilities are a broad scope of log event collection and management, the ability to analyze log events and other data across disparate sources, and operational capabilities (such as incident management, dashboards and reporting).

Security information and event management (SIEM) technology supports threat detection, compliance, and security incident management through the collection and analysis (both near real-time and historical) of security events, as well as a wide variety of other event and contextual data sources. The core capabilities are a broad scope of log event collection and management, the ability to analyze log events and other data across disparate sources, and operational capabilities (such as incident management, dashboards, and reporting).

Managed detection and response (MDR) services are a collection of network-, host- and endpoint-based cybersecurity technologies that a third-party provider manages for a client organization. The provider typically installs technology on-premises at the client organization and provides additional external and automated threat hunting services.

MDRs improve cybersecurity by searching for threats and responding to them once detected. They also let users connect with the provider’s security experts, who can bolster the security skills of the client company’s IT department. This makes them ideal for businesses that don’t have a designated in-house threat detection team.

XDR, or Extended Detection and Response, represents an integrated suite of security tools designed to provide unified protection against cyber threats. This proactive approach seeks to detect, analyze, and respond to potential threats in real-time, covering the network, cloud, endpoint, and email security domains.

Threat management is a process used by cybersecurity professionals to prevent cyberattacks, detect cyber threats, and respond to security incidents. Why is threat management critical?

Most security teams face information fragmentation, leading to blind spots in security operations.

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is part of the third generation of firewall technology that can be implemented in hardware or software. It can detect and block sophisticated attacks by enforcing security policies at the application, port, and protocol levels.

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each of which is a data center.
