Associate director 
Verizon Enterprise Solutions
Denver, CO

Mike Kimiecik leads the global security management and cyber risk programs at Verizon Enterprise Solutions. With more than 25 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, Kimiecik has spent the past 15 years focused on network and cybersecurity. First starting his career on the network side of the business, Kimiecik became involved in cybersecurity engagement, responsible for security operations in the private and public sector.

Prior to Verizon, Kimiecik held leadership roles with Equant, Global-One and Alcatel Data Networks, and engineering roles with Alcatel Data Networks, Sprint, GTE and the federal government. He is also a US military veteran, having served six years in the US Coast Guard.

Today, Kimiecik focuses on the continued evolution and development of sales and service delivery for the
company’s security management, application security and cyber risk programs. “There is always a constant state  of flux with emerging technologies entering the space,” he says. “At the same time, many of the same issues continue to occur, as companies have often become more focused on compliance as oppose to risks. Security is key for everyone in an organization, not just the security teams. We have found that 80% of attacks are motivated from an opportunity for financial gain. Doing basic things to protect yourself and your assets are critical, such as reducing risk through regularly conducted assessments of your environment to identify risks, and take appropriate action to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a cyberattack.”
