Nathan Handley Earns CISO Certification

Leadership Through Learning: Why Cybersecurity Expertise Matters More Than Ever

Preferred Office Technologies Chief Information Officer Nathan Handley has earned his
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) certification, building on more than 32 years of
hands-on IT experience and over 23 years in Director and CIO leadership roles. The
certification reflects Nathan’s continued commitment to strengthening his expertise as
cybersecurity risks and technology continue to evolve.
For Nathan, earning the CISO certification wasn’t
simply about adding another credential. “As an
industry-leading Managed Service Provider, we owe it
to our customers to deliver the best and most current
support and industry knowledge,” said Handley. “I
feel that one of the best ways to continue that high
level of standard is to seek advanced training and
experience. For me, the CISO track just made sense in
this ever-evolving cyber risk world we live in.”
Nathan also believes strong cybersecurity starts with
people. “In companies today the largest security risk
is employees and their actions.” Handley said. “The
best defense to cyber threats is proper and continual
education of employees. Tools are absolutely a
necessity but ultimately, they will be wasted money
and efforts unless employees are educated and
confident in how they handle cyber risks.”
