Former Deputy Director of Security for the NRO Named New Trident Data
Systems President
LOS ANGELES (Sept. 30) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 30, 1998--Trident Data
Systems, a globally recognized leader in information protection services,
named former National Reconnaissance Office Deputy Director of Security
Art Davis as the company's newest president.
Following the announcement, Trident's executive staff remains intact, with
former president Joe Parks stepping aside to concentrate solely on his
chief executive officer duties. "The same captain is steering the ship,
with the help of a new first mate," Parks said.
Davis, a former Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, said he will put
"considerable emphasis" on optimizing Trident's opportunities and
potential in the commercial IP arena.
"I see the commercial world waking up to the threats it faces from lack of
network security," said Davis, who has nearly 30 years of security
experience. "The potential for Trident to help solve these problems is
tremendous."
Trident grossed $87 million in 1997 offering secure technology solutions
to both government and commercial customers.
As director of Policy and Security at the Air Force's Office of Special
Projects, Davis created the NRO Security Center in 1990, merging the CIA,
Air Force and contractors into a well-disciplined, customer
service-oriented organization. He was named NRO deputy director of
Security in 1995. Davis joined Trident this past April as a vice
president, after retiring from the government post.
