Tempered Networks, a provider of secure connectivity for critical infrastructure, industrial control systems (ICS), and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Monday announced that it has appointed Jeff Hussey as President and CEO. Hussey, who co-founded F5 Networks will lead the company into its next stage of growth, said the company.
Tempered Networks is based on technology developed by Asguard Networks, which was founded by David Mattes who will serve as CTO of the new company. Tempered Networks has also announced its newly branded product line to meet the increasing cybersecurity challenges facing the modern industrial enterprise as they move to IP-based infrastructures.
Jeff Hussey, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Tempered Networks
The Internet was designed to be reliable but it wasn't designed to be secure. As critical infrastructure and other 'things' we take for granted increasingly rely on network connectivity, security is not optional. Tempered Networks offers customers the ability to create hardened and resilient networks with our overlay network architecture that cloaks critical infrastructure devices, while enabling communications over secure channels. I'm excited about working with this talented team as we drive the industry forward.
David Mattes, co-founder and CTO at Tempered Networks
With years of R&D investment at Boeing, numerous deployments in live production, and a market-driven roadmap, our products are built on a strong foundation. People have always struggled with usability and security and we have found a way for our customers to achieve both -- without sacrificing operational integrity and availability. Looking ahead, our company -- with Jeff's commercial experience and deep understanding of enterprise-class availability and security -- we're well positioned to execute on our vision of delivering a secure, well-orchestrated Internet.
