Michael Duke:

Michael embarked on his journey in the IT realm back in 1996, initially as a network engineer. With almost three decades of experience predominantly in consulting services and managed services provider (MSP) domain, he has finely honed a blend of technical prowess and interpersonal finesse. His tenure saw him spearheading the definition, development, and launch of service products for MSPs, ushering in a shift from the traditional break-fix model. The innovative standards and policies he crafted remain foundational across all MSPs today.

In 1999, Michael swiftly transitioned into the evolving landscape of IT security, offering Security Vulnerability Assessments to organizations reeling from significant financial breaches. Prior to the establishment of the FBI's cyber-division, he lent his expertise in identifying and reporting nefarious cyber activities. By 2004, his unwavering commitment to leveraging technology for problem-solving led him into pre-sales engineering and sales roles for a major MWBE corporation. His journey culminated in his current role as the owner and president of Commlan, a position he assumed in 2008.

Michael's extensive experience spans across numerous SMBs and enterprise giants including Accenture, AIG, Bayer Healthcare, Blackrock, Debevoise and Plimpton, US Navy, GE Capital, Panasonic, Rockefeller University, Siemens, Verizon and many others. Over the years, he has facilitated the implementation of solutions for esteemed organizations, generating and managing revenues exceeding $450 million since 1996. By distilling best practices, policies, and procedures from various organizations, Michael has empowered Commlan clients to achieve their growth objectives through standardized, technology-driven approaches. His expertise encompasses open-source solutions and adept management of licensing intricacies, ensuring cost-effective and suitable solutions for clients.

Recently, Michael has integrated AI into Commlan's service offerings, streamlining issue resolution and bolstering end-user support. He has continuously pursued professional development, amassing numerous certifications including Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). Furthermore, he has partnered with Tenable as an Ambassador for the region, solidifying his commitment to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity advancements.
