Bio
Christie Nader
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Omer. When you hire for strong leadership skills, great attitude and aptitude, you get people like Omer. He managed our close knit security operations team at Perspecta while our company merged 5 companies together. That is definitely a solid challenge as any security professional would understand! I'm excited to see him breaking away to pursue growing CyberNow Labs, which he co-created before joining Perspecta. Omer is is an innovative security technologist who also has an owner's experience. A great package of experience that would be valuable at many companies in many industries.

Omer exemplifies what a SOC manager should be – he has in depth cybersecurity knowledge, superior people management skills, and is a great leader. I hired Omer onto my team and had the pleasure of working with him for 2+ years. I saw and know first-hand how he earns the loyalty of his team, up and down. He is a joy to work with because of his personality and obvious care about what he does, but his ability to manage and run a Security Operations Center while providing mentoring and learning opportunities to constantly better himself and his team is inspiring. Omer always has a positive attitude and handles emergent and normal situations with grace and thoroughness. His use of his Cybernow Labs environment to learn new tools and their interactions, as well as to teach his team was an added bonus and shows how far he will go to do a great job! Omer would be a great asset in anything he chooses to do!
