Caruthers's hire exhibits EVOTEK's longtime commitment to further expand and strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities, protecting US businesses from cyberthreats of all kinds.
"John is an outstanding addition to our cybersecurity team," said Jeff Klenner, President of EVOTEK. "His vast experience in federal law enforcement, including everything from drug cartels, crimes against children, and cyber-terrorism, give him unique insights and perspectives that we are excited to see impact and improve EVOTEK's ability to protect our clients' assets."
In a decorated career spanning 27 years, Caruthers investigated all types of criminal activity and corruption.
