Meet The Team: Matt S.
BACKGROUND WITH TECHNOLOGY:
"My first real IT job was at a large construction company in CT in 1999. I was right out of college. I started the week of the “I Love You Virus” so it was baptism by fire. Email was broken for a couple of days and it was overwhelming. Almost 20 years later and I’m still in the game so I guess it wasn’t too bad. I moved on from there to join Walker in 2007 and have been here since!"
MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:
"Being able to determine the best way to get a client to where they want to be by making them understand how the technology will drive their business."
FAVORITE TECH DEVICE AND WHY?
"Probably my Google Pixel 3a. It’s small and does almost everything I need it to. It does basic work communications, social media, pictures and web surfing. All in the palm of my hand!"
WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPERPOWER BE?
"Being able to fly would be cool. Would be faster to fly than drive through Hartford traffic some mornings."
HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED OVER THE LAST MONTH?
"If we are being completely honest, I had a lot of anxiety about Covid-19 when it started to spread but I found if I avoided the “what may happen” stuff online, I got much better. Home schooling was been a real challenge, but we have made it through so far. In my spare time, I have started working on my house again after a much too long break from it. I hope to have my three-season room completely redone in the next month or so."
FUN FACTS:
"I am an avid gamer. Right now, I’m playing Skyrim and Dragon Quest XI. Unfortunately, this can be hard as what I want to play constantly changes. I am happy to say I have been Destiny free for over 2 years."
"I am a craft beer nerd. I have been known to chase down rare beers by driving 2 hours round trip for 2 cans."
"Music holds a very important place in my life. One of the hardest parts about the Covid-19 pandemic is not being able to go out to see live music. My all-time favorite band is The Mighty Mighty BossToneS and I have seen them in 6 different states for a grand total of 95 times since 1991."
"I have a cat named Five who I named after ethernet cable. She’s 15 years old now."
"I have played an online MUD since late 1994. I have talked to some of these people daily for this long. Even though we don’t really play together anymore, it’s been pretty neat watching people “grow up” and have kids and careers. I have traveled to Denver and other places to hang out with them."
ASTROLOGICAL SIGN:
"Leo but, generally speaking, I don’t think signs matter or do anything.""
WE ARE PROUD TO BE

In today's digital world, cyberattacks are no longer a "what if" —they're a "when." No matter the size of your business or industry, cyberattacks pose a real and growing risk. From data breaches and ransomware attacks to phishing scams and system outages, the cost of a cyber incident can be devastating. This is where cybersecurity insurance becomes critical. A well-structured policy can mean the difference between a swift recovery and financial ruin. However, many companies make the mistake of only reviewing their policy after an attack happens—when it’s already too late. Businesses must proactively review and revise their coverage before an incident occurs to stay ahead of rising threats, evolving regulations, and increasing costs.
