Guy Marong
FOUNDER OF CUBIC CONSULTING

GUY MARONG

After working across Europe and globally for companies such as Sony Corp, I moved back to my home country of Luxembourg to start Cubic Consulting. My experience in information security management is extensive — from building cybersecurity companies from scratch to managing large organisations.

But what differentiates me from other cybersecurity practitioners is my keen understanding of business diversity, priorities, and needs — and my ability to build a sustainable and actionable security management system.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

Guy is one of the most knowledgeable, passionate security professionals I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. He has long been one of my favorite, trustworthy go-to resources during my cybersecurity career.

ED ADAMS,
CEO, RESEARCH FELLOW FOR THE PONEMON INSTITUTE, SECURITY INNOVATION, BOSTON

Since I met Guy 25 years ago, I have regarded him as a person with an extraordinary ability to view projects, issues, concepts, or challenges from many different angles. I have often experienced his great visionary potential far above the conception of many of his employees and superiors. His insights and attention to detail have always encouraged me to look deeper and to think further. He has always been an admirable mentor by sharing his broad and profound knowledge of sales, marketing, finance, technology and communication with passion and foresight, and providing me with the confidence to step into unknown realms of new business challenges.

Guy has always been my ‘go-to’ guy (forgive the pun) on the once rather obscure issue of Cyber Security and has been a great help to software companies I am involved in personally and in my roles at INSEAD. Of course, this subject is no longer obscure but has few truly experienced and knowledgeable experts who can appreciate the frightening existential risks to entire companies that can arise from a cyber-attack. Guy not only knows how to deal with the aftermath of such attacks but more importantly to recognize the potential risks and mitigate or avoid them in the first place. This does not just involve a firewall software patch but an entire approach to how a company and its data is managed as a vital strategic asset.

Guy is a mentor or guru for many cybersecurity professionals across the globe. He was one of the very few that I have seen to be thinking well ahead of the bad guys. While compliance was important for him, he was more focused on practical risk that generally does not get noticed or recognized. He would be a tremendous asset for organizations that are looking to establish or improvise their cybersecurity program. His leadership skills and ability to positively engage all levels of stakeholders (executives to executioners) with his capability and wit is something that continues to amaze me! Wishing you the best Guy!
