Watermark is pleased to announce another blog in our continuing series from our favorite red team expert, Dr. Mark Mateski. Dr. Mateski, whom we consider the foremost authority on the philosophy and strategy of red teaming today, launched Reciprocal Strategies, LLC in 2018 with the aim of expanding the work he began with the founding of Red Team Journal (RTJ), an online journal that primarily addresses red teaming as it relates to adversary emulation and vulnerability assessment.

Mark’s guidance and assistance has helped Watermark be more efficient and effective, as well as provide greater value to our clients with our red teaming services. As a result, Watermark is pleased to bring you this continuing series of Mark’s blogs with the goal of helping increase understanding of this challenging, ever maturing field.

This week we are featuring Dr. Mateski’s December 2018 blog titled “Yes, Norbert, We Agree!” The article highlights Norbert Wiener who helped pioneer cybernetics in the 1940s. Apparently, Dr. Wiener still has some interesting things to tell us today. Check out the blog HERE.

Government Services

Watermark has been providing subject matter expertise and program support across federal, state and local governments since our very first year.

After acquiring deep, hands-on experience in antiterrorism, critical infrastructure protection, physical security strategies, and risk management, Matt went on to develop executive government and business leadership and management skills that enable him to formulate strategy for Watermark’s clients.

Matt retired as a Colonel after serving 22 years in the U.S. Air Force. His military assignments included assignments as the senior U.S. government security official responsible for security oversight of our nation’s nuclear weapons program and as the senior security officer for the US Air Force Special Operations Command.

After retiring, Matt created and grew the integrated security consulting service division at a Fortune 500 company; within 3 years it was yielding >125% annual growth. He left that position to become VP/Chief Security Officer at Brinks Inc., one of the world’s largest risk-management companies. After establishing Watermark, he served for two years as Chairman of the Board and CEO of one of the largest security services companies in the U.S. At Watermark, he is responsible for overall business strategy, growth, and customer satisfaction.
