This shift was a priority for Fuhrman when he joined the company in 2023. Fuhrman explains what nonnegotiable requirements truly define an MSSP. The CEO and IT veteran also shares what brought him from the vendor space to the partner side of industry, the strategic approach that sets Omega apart, and how cybersecurity and compliance have become critical and defining portfolio offerings for their clients.
