Charleston, S.C. (PRWEB) May 18, 2016 -- PhishLabs, the leading provider of 24/7 cybersecurity services that protect against the exploitation of people, announces the addition of Steven Drew to its Board of Directors. Mr. Drew is the former Chief Operating Officer of SecureWorks, where his executive management drove the delivery of market-leading managed security services to thousands of enterprises worldwide.
“PhishLabs is transforming how organizations protect against the phishing attacks that have led to billions of dollars in damages and financial loss over the years,” Drew said. “I’m excited to be a part of their Board and to provide guidance as they continue their high-growth trajectory.”
Drew is the President and CEO of USConnect Holdings, which owns and operates seven telecommunications companies in five states. Prior to USConnect, he was the COO for SecureWorks. Under his leadership, SecureWorks was a seven-time winner and two-time finalist for the SC Magazine Readers’ Trust Award for Best Managed Security Service. The company was also positioned as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Managed Security Services.
“Steven has a wealth of experience leading fast-growing global operations and consistently delivering quality service. It is a privilege to have him on our Board, and I look forward to tapping into his industry knowledge as we expand and scale our business,” said PhishLabs founder and CEO John LaCour.
In February, PhishLabs launched T2 Spear Phishing Protection, the industry’s first end-to-end spear phishing solution driven by real-world attack intelligence. The company uses insight gained from fighting back against more than 6,000 phishing attacks every month to help organizations proactively condition their employees to recognize and report threats. Those threats are then analyzed in near real-time by the PhishLabs Security Operations Center, which investigates and mitigates the attacks before damage is done.

The company also recently published its 2016 Phishing Trends & Intelligence Report: Hacking the Human, which exposes the murky evolution of a thriving, sophisticated phishing underworld. The report is based on more than one million confirmed malicious phishing sites residing on more than 130,000 unique domains, and the movement of more than 90 threat actor groups actively deploying spear phishing attacks.
