History
Vishal Masih founded Zephon in 2018 because of what he saw as a shortage of highly experienced cybersecurity people in the market and security budgets that too often couldn’t accommodate the necessary full-time experienced people most mid and large sized businesses need.
​
In light of these two market conditions, Vishal has shaped Zephon to be highly focused on ensuring his clients leverage the most ROI and security from their current investment. He and his people are shaped with a mindset for identifying ways to automate and apply innovative solutions to help fill the security gaps. Built from the depth of his experience and leadership in the cybersecurity industry, Vishal is able to vet and recruit some of the most skilled talent for Zephon.
