Andy Prow passes the reins as RedShield appoints new CEO
Fabian Partigliani to lead international growth efforts
Wellington-based RedShield Security has named Fabian Partigliani as its new CEO, replacing Andy Prow from July 1.
Partigliani is charged with leading the company s efforts to expand its global footprint.
In addition to his current role on RedShield s board, co-founder Prow will continue to be involved with strategic initiatives around the globe, RedShield announced today.
“Security has emerged as a top risk priority for boards and CEOs across all sectors and industries, Partigliani said.
Co-founder and chief executive Andy Prow was only willing to talk about this operation because Delaware s chief security officer, Solomon Adote, had already spoken about it. He wouldn’t go into exactly what systems RedShield was protecting, only that they “were integral” to guarding against voter fraud and the voting process. “If you look at a target like a state, during an event like a presidential election, then of course the attacks are everything you would expect to see – and a lot of new things thrown in as well,” Prow said.

It didn t take long to figure out what happened. The website had been overwhelmed by a tsunami of offshore digital traffic. An email from the perpetrators made clear that it was a malicious attack.
NZX Ltd, which operates the exchange, restored connectivity ahead of the next trading day. But the attacks resumed once the market opened, forcing more trading suspensions over the next few days.
