When people leave a company there is often not a lot said about those that go on to pastures new. Last Friday was Mark Whites final day with us. His fathers passing made him take stock and choose a path he has always wanted to follow with his uncle. He now moves on to build Gear and Glory a US Sports apparel outlet and we fully support his decision.

We are sad to see Mark go. He brought real heart to the team and cared deeply about the people he worked with. We are also proud to see him take on something that matters to him.

Good luck Mark from everyone at Cyber Overwatch.
