Atlantic, a leading technology and managed services provider, announced the appointment of Jeff Pappert as vice president of sales for its managed IT and cybersecurity division. Pappert will lead the continued expansion of the division’s sales organization, helping mid-market businesses strengthen their technology foundations, manage evolving cyber risks, and support secure growth.
As businesses put more data to work through AI and connected technologies, the stakes around security continue to rise. Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, while regulatory expectations and security capabilities continue to evolve.
“Security has to be foundational to how organizations operate, not something addressed after the fact,” said Jason Weiss, CEO of Atlantic. “AI is changing the security landscape, creating new opportunities and risks for organizations. For mid-market organizations, keeping pace with evolving threats while meeting growing governance and compliance requirements is increasingly difficult. They face enterprise-level risks and expectations without enterprise-level resources. Jeff understands that environment and brings the experience and forward-looking perspective to help our customers protect their businesses while continuing to innovate.”
Pappert brings more than 20 years of sales leadership experience, including more than a decade leading SaaS and cybersecurity sales organizations. His background includes serving as chief revenue officer at SaaSAudit and Hurricane Labs, as well as vice president of enterprise sales at Thrive. Pappert also serves as a strategic advisor to SecureX. Throughout his career, he has built and scaled cybersecurity sales organizations and helped businesses navigate complex technology, security and compliance environments.
In his new role, Pappert will work across Atlantic’s technical, service, and commercial teams to help new and existing customers strengthen their technology and security foundations while aligning investments with broader business objectives.
“Organizations are under tremendous pressure to innovate, but they can’t afford to compromise security in the process,” said Pappert. “What attracted me to Atlantic is the recognition that everything is connected. IT and security, data, applications, and AI can’t operate in silos. They need to work as one connected system, with security at the foundation, so organizations can unlock insights from their data, make better decisions, automate more intelligently and continue to evolve. I’m excited to build on that strategy and help customers protect their businesses while getting more from their technology investments.”
Atlantic delivers managed IT and cybersecurity services designed to support organizations with different levels of internal IT resources and expertise. Through its fully managed CoreShield offering and co-managed Alliance solution for organizations with internal IT teams, Atlantic provides businesses with a flexible path to strengthen their technology and security foundations and evolve as their needs and capabilities grow.
