GLESEC Description

GLESEC is a managed cybersecurity services provider founded in 2003 in Princeton, New Jersey, and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with additional operations in Panama City, Panama. The company serves clients across sixteen countries, including organizations in banking, healthcare, government, airlines, and educational institutions. GLESEC delivers a suite of cybersecurity and compliance services through a combination of managed security services (MSS) and professional services. Its proprietary SKYWATCH Risk Management Platform provides visibility and control across cybersecurity and compliance programs, tracking performance against its internal Seven Elements Model. Specific offerings referenced on the platform include SKYWATCH BEGINS+ (a proof-of-value engagement), SKYWATCH CAP (Cloud App Protection), Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT), SKYWATCH IP (sensitive information protection), and full Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs. The company operates two Secured Operating Centers — one in Orlando, FL and one in Panama City, Panama — and positions its services around real-time risk scoring and outcome-focused security management. GLESEC's model emphasizes combining third-party technologies with managed and professional services rather than selling standalone tools, aiming to reduce client internal effort by delivering prioritized, risk-based recommendations. The company was founded by Sergio Heker, an Internet and cybersecurity pioneer who was a founding member of the Internet Society, contributed to early Internet Protocol standards, and helped respond to the Morris worm. GLESEC's client base spans the U.S. and Latin America.
