Alta Associates: The Go-To Boutique Executive Search Firm for Industry Leaders

There has been a great increase in the number of companies making strategic hires in information security and IT Risk. Two of the driving forces behind this increased demand are the volume and complexity of threats and attacks on organizations and new regulatory requirements demanding compliance. The roles and responsibilities of the Chief Information Security and IT Risk Officers are hence evolving.

Coming to the aid of these companies is Flemington, NJ based Alta Associates which finds technology leaders who can develop and implement a holistic approach to risk management while defending against increasingly more complex attacks.
