6. Robert Hessel, Source 1 Solutions Inc CEO:‘Our Mission
is to Partner with Truly Great Companies to Expand
Technical Capabilities and Geographical Reach’
“We expanded our operations in 2012 by opening European locations, with an increased focus on expanding globally.”
“Our vision is to keep cities safe so that people thrive.”
S
ecurity is one of the fastest-
growing industries of the
21st century, given the
rampant increase in threats to
businesses globally. All major
and minor companies need to
protect their data from fraudulent
activities in order to ensure
privacy of sensitive information.
Global security companies are
on the rise, coming up with
new ways of tackling security
problems and providing their
clients with a sense of safety and
security.
Source 1 Solutions is one such
global services company that
provides IT solutions to its clients
all over the world. Founded
by Robert Hessel in 2011, the
company has been providing
high-tech solutions to businesses
worldwide. Source 1 currently
provide sits services to over 500
hospitals, major retailers, global
shipping companies, and four
global banks in 96 countries.
Major companies like Orange
Business Services, Verizon
Wireless, Vodafone, and several
other global service providers
Source 1 Solutions was founded
in 2011 and is headquartered in
Clearwater FL.
In Conversation
with Robert Hessel,
Source 1 Solutions
CEO
What was the idea behind
the setup of Source 1
Solutions?
It was created with the vision of
a services-only firm specializing
in expanding clients’ technical
capabilities and geographical
reach.
Can you brief us about the
history of your company?
We established Source 1 Solutions
in 2011 focused on IT, Security
and International parts delivery.
We expanded our operations
in 2012 by opening European
locations, with an increased
focus on expanding globally.
By 2016, we had standardized
internal operations utilizing
International standards for
business delivery. From 2017-
2018, we focused on moving
all global technology system
operations to Clearwater, Florida.
Currently, we are opening a new
office in Ireland to serve as the
European Headquarter.
What were the biggest
initial hurdles to building
your business and how did
you overcome them?
The biggest hurdle for any
privately funded company is cash
flow. To overcome this challenge
without any outside investment
is imperative to focus on the core
strengths and profitability of the
company.
What is your greatest fear,
and how do you manage to
overcome the same?
My greatest fear is in balancing;
being present in the day to day
but not getting pulled back into
the routine operation. It is key for
a CEO to focus on vital tasks of the
company in order to see into the
future to adjust strategy as the
global market and economy shifts.
‘It is difficult to start a
venture, but far more
difficult to maintain it’.
How would you and your
team interpret this saying?
The challenges that a company
faces in the start-up days are
similar as the company grows.

7. Robert Hessel: The Leader
behind the Success of
Source 1 Solutions
Robert Hessel serves as the CEO of
Source 1 Solutions. He has over 20 years
of experience in business management
and has developed a worldwide business
network by traveling extensively.
Mr. Hessel has also served the US Navy.
In addition to his success in the business
world, he also holds board seats on
several charities and advisory boards
and is a best-selling published author.
Robert Hessel, CEO
business is its culture and
ability to service its clients.
As an organization grows,
it becomes more difficult to
maintain a culture and keep
a larger number of people
in communication with the
collective strategy.
What would you say
was the single most
influential factor in your
business’ success?
The most influential factor in
Source 1’s success was having
a strong advisory board and
a very clear understanding of
what our strengths were and
perhaps more importantly what
they were not.
What other CEOs do you
look up to?
I think all CEOs admire and look
up to some of the big brand
CEOs like Richard Branson,
Mark Cuban, and Warren Buffet.
However, I especially admire
a couple of CEOs that built
companies from scratch to be
very successful SMB businesses
today, such as John Campau of
Comtronics and Ross Teague of
ITEC; both of them have been
mentors and friends to me
through the years.
“There is nothing
more important for
a successful small
business than a well-
defined mission and
vision statements.” Can
you explain your M&V
statements in brief?
Our vision is to keep cities safe
so that people thrive.
Our mission is to partner with
truly great companies to expand
technical capabilities and
geographical reach.
What would you say
are the top three skills
needed to be a successful
CEO?
The top three skills of a CEO,
in my opinion, are the ability
to build strong relationships,
sound understanding of finance,
and a clear vision for the future.
If you had one piece of
advice to someone just
starting out, what would
it be?
Just start. Everyone waits for the
perfect conditions or the perfect
plan and this does not exist.
You just have to go for it and be
willing to work your face off for
at least five years before you
become the overnight success.
What are your
three biggest
accomplishments?
Growing Source 1 into one of
the fastest-growing companies
in Florida and North America,
becoming a published author,
and watching the team
members of Source 1 grow
professionally and personally.
What do you think
has been the most
memorable moment in
your career?
I honestly would have a difficult
time picking one but opening
our first office internationally is
pretty high on the list.
If not a business leader/
CEO, what would you
want to be?
An NFL Quarterback.

8. Darktrace
Applying
AI to tackle
cyber defense
challenges
T
he rise of cloud computing,
SaaS applications, and the
increase in IoT has created
a rapid expansion of workloads
and systems across diverse digital
infrastructures. The dissolution
of the corporate perimeter has
expanded the attack surface,
leaving many areas vulnerable
to a breach. The application of
artificial intelligence to the cyber
defense challenge has marked a
fundamental shift in our ability
to protect critical data systems
and digital infrastructures. For
strained security teams, it offers
the possibility to keep pace with an
ever-evolving threat landscape.
Darktrace is recognized as the
world’s leading AI Company for
cybersecurity. Founded in 2013 by
mathematicians from the University
of Cambridge and government
cyber intelligence experts in the US
and the UK, with deep expertise in
mathematics and machine learning,
Darktrace empowers organizations
to defend their systems against
the most sophisticated cyber-
threats. The company’s pioneering
technology, the Enterprise Immune
System, applies AI to the cyber
defense challenge for the first
time and has proven successful
in detecting cyber-threats that
existing, legacy systems cannot.
Technologies furnished
by Darktrace that’s
creating a difference
Cyber AI Platform
Darktrace has identified a
new form of cybersecurity that
moves the whole industry forward
beyond current defense models.
By applying advanced machine
learning methods to a novel
software application, it has
established a world-beating
company that has no significant
competitor.
Autonomous Response
Darktrace’s Autonomous Response
technology, Darktrace Antigena,
uses Cyber AI to calculate the best
action to take, in the shortest period
of time, to effectively respond to a
cyber-attack. Because Darktrace’s
Cyber AI learns the ‘self’ for your
enterprise from scratch and has a
highly evolved understanding of
what’s normal, it can even respond
to subtle threats that have never
been seen before, but that could
jeopardize key systems or data.
Cloud Security
Darktrace’s Cyber AI Platform offers
a cloud-native security solution
that protects workloads and
services across hybrid and multi-
cloud environments, as well as all
major SaaS applications. Delivering
unique, enterprise-wide security,
Darktrace detects and responds

miss, from malicious insiders and
external attacks, through to critical

the business to future compromise.
Darktrace’s products for
enterprises
Darktrace Antigua
Darktrace Antigena is the world’s
first Autonomous Response
solution. Powered by award-
winning Cyber AI, it responds
to cyber-attacks in a matter of
seconds — when security teams
are overwhelmed or simply
aren’t around. The technology
works like a digital antibody,
intelligently generating a targeted
and proportionate response
whenever a threatening incident
arises in-network, email or cloud
environments.
The Enterprise Immune
System
The Enterprise Immune System is
a self-learning cyber AI technology
that detects novel attacks and
insider threats at an early stage.
Modeled on the human immune
system, the Enterprise Immune
System learns and understands
‘self’ for everyone and everything
in the business, and can spot the
subtle signals of an advanced
attack — without relying on rules,
signatures, or prior assumptions.
The Industrial Immune
System
The Industrial Immune System is a
fundamental AI technology for OT
cyber defense. It works by passively
learning what ‘normal’ looks like
across OT, IT and industrial IoT,
allowing it to detect even the
subtlest signals of emerging cyber-
threats in real-time. This self-
learning technology is protocol-
agnostic and can be deployed
across a range of OT environments,
providing full coverage of the
organization without disrupting
daily operations.
“Darktrace
empowers
organizations
to defend
their systems
against
the most
sophisticated
cyber-threats.”
