Scottsdale, AZ – January 16, 2024. iShift, a technology company focused on providing innovative Information Security solutions based in Arizona, announced that Rich Dussliere, an experienced cybersecurity expert and technology executive, has joined the company to head the Office of the CISO and vCISO services.
Rich Dussliere is a highly experienced technology executive recognized for his expertise in security, technology, and privacy. Rich’s keen ability to build consensus across business and technology sectors contributed to his success in directing the development of secure tech solutions that propelled the organizations he worked at forward in their security posture.
Driven by the principle that business and technology interests need to be in alignment, Rich has accumulated significant knowhow in building and maintaining realistic security strategies. His experience spans diverse sectors, including financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare, where he successfully instilled board and leadership confidence in the effectiveness of people, processes, and technology investments. Known for his pragmatic approach to security investments, Rich emphasizes the importance of clear secure-tech objectives aligned with business goals and the need for a roadmap that safeguards organizations from service interruptions and attacks.
As a cybersecurity practitioner, Rich is leveraging his real-world experiences as a technology leader to help organizations close the gaps on the friction points that naturally evolve as cybersecurity challenges become more visible to leadership and the Board.
In his role, Rich will spearhead security, governance, and privacy engagements, instilling a security-first mindset across iShift’s diverse portfolio of services.

Cybersecurity threats are a real potential nightmare for every company no matter the size, and we can help our clients avoid these nightmares. Rich is well-positioned to lead and strengthen their cybersecurity initiatives, drawing from years of experience in the industry. I truly believe his expertise can make a significant impact on fortifying their defenses.”
