When I worked with Tony, he diligently self-taught and learned the industry in his spare time.
He has the steel and the personality that makes him a perfect fit for any role he wants to tackle.
Whenever I had a complex or sophisticated customer, I’d bring Tony in first.
Tony has a distinctive background in security operations that is a strong asset in his recent endeavors as a technical product marketing manager and solutions engineer. His technical acumen shone in the projects I worked with him on, and I enjoyed his amiable and funny personality. He’s a dedicated team player who would excel in any technical role he pursues, and I’d gladly work with him again.
Tony is an excellent product marketer – laser-focused on technical architecture to support both Sales and Product Management. I worked closely with Tony as he provided support to the QRadar SOAR PM team, assisting in the revamp of technical content as well as Sales Enablement materials. Any organization would be lucky to have Tony on their team – he’s a dedicated and loyal team member always willing to go out of his way to help others.
Tony is one of a kind engineer. The finesse with which he explains the world of security in the simplest of the terms captures everyone’s attention. I have worked closely with Tony for couple of years now and he still amazes with the quality of the presentations, documents and detailed network architectures he builds. He really puts his heart and soul to everything he does. Apart from being an inquisitive and dedicated engineer, he is very humble and kind; a quality I truly appreciate. AT&T Cybersecurity is lucky to have him on the team and I am grateful to be working with him and call him a dear friend.
Tony is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met, and never hesitates to help solve problems to advance the business. I can’t count how many times Tony saved the day as an extremely strong technical resource with tremendous experience. I hope I get the chance to work with Tony again in the future, and would highly recommend him as a strong team player.
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 lead 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.
Tony brings energy and intensity to all of his assigned projects while constantly looking to improve his skill set – essential in today’s digital world. Tony is very knowledgeable and is comfortable speaking to both technical and management personnel. He has a deep technical understanding of security architectures with breadth across several product offerings. With a balance of his technical skills and commitment — it helps him respond to challenging and ever-changing corporate/customer demands.
Rarely do I feel obligate to share my thoughts on my employees, but today I thought I would share some of my observations and thoughts on Tony. I inherited Tony from another team a couple years ago, via an acquisition (AlienVault). Tony quickly established himself as a trusted advisor / engineer for all things SIEM related. His absolute dedication to supporting the entire sales organization made him singularly the most requested engineer on my team. With over seven thousand sellers at ATT, being super popular can double edged sword. Tony handles it with excitement and always produces exceptional results. I am proud to call him a team mate..
Tony is a technical sales Rockstar! His friendliness and approachability, combined with his technical prowess, creativity, and attention to detail make his enthusiasm contagious to colleagues and customers alike. He is always thinking about making things better and easier for our customers. His approach to making complex technical problems understandable to all has translated into epic business deals. I look forward to working with Tony again at the first opportunity possible.
Tony, and Exceptional Technology Solutions staff members have done a great job for the City of Hutchins and our technology needs. Tony and his staff worked with us to ensure State CJIS compliance, implementation of our new records managements system, and the installation of new hardware to support our computer needs now and for future use.
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.
