Very Good Security (VGS)

How can you not want to know more about a firm called Very Good Security? And, yes, that’s the real name of the San Francisco-based startup that investors obviously think has very good prospects moving forward, after providing hefty funding to the firm in 2019 and again in late 2020.

Mahmoud Abdelkader is CEO and co-founder of the cloud-focused data security, compliance and custodianship company known for providing protection for Payment Card Information (PCI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

At AWS re:Inforce in Boston, Alanna Frost, global channel chief at VGS (as the firm is also known), said about 15 to 25 percent of Very Good Security’s sales currently come via the channel. But she said she’d like to get that number up to 60 percent in future years.
