David Allouch started his career in France, where he quickly became known
for his innovative approach to network security. During the past 20 years,
he has become one of the most respected and sought-after network security
strategists.
According to Allouch, many of the world's leading corporations-even those
protected by the most advanced solutions--have nowhere to turn to when their
defenses are under attack. "Hackers are getting more professional," says
Allouch. "They know perfectly the existing solutions like firewall or
intrusion detection systems. Only a specialist can catch them."
His clients expect from him to be available at any time and to solve their
most delicate problems. For Allouch, discretion takes precedence over
everything else. Many of his clients have come to him through
recommendations from other companies. His panel of clients now includes not
only ISPs and solution providers, but also banks and other financial
institutions.
Allouch was the architect behind several of the security solutions now in
use worldwide, but he rarely talks about how he devised them. He believes
his new "tools" should be kept private in order to achieve their goals.
While he has an impressive list of references, Allouch refuses to disclose
the name or location of his clients. He is currently enjoying life in New
York City, where he is expanding his client roster.
