TraceSecurity Names Sandra Bergeron Chairman of the Board
BATON ROUGE, La., July 10, 2006 – TraceSecurity, a leading provider of on-demand security compliance management software, announced Sandra Bergeron has been named Chairman of the Board.
Bergeron is a well-known and highly respected woman in technology in the Silicon Valley area. During her ten-year career at McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE), Bergeron held various executive positions within the company including President of the PGP Security Business Unit. She recently served as Executive Chairman of TriCipher Inc., a privately held authentication company. Bergeron is a Venture Advisor to Trident Capital, and she is on the Board of Advisors for the J.

“TraceSecurity does a tremendous job assisting mid-market regulated companies in maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive customer data,” Bergeron said. “With its unique automated capabilities and advanced technology, TraceSecurity easily enables companies to exceed mandated federal and state compliance regulations.”
Bergeron’s national reputation as a computer security thought leader earned her the distinction as one of Information Security Magazine’s Top 25 Women of Vision in 2003. Her opinions on security matters are highly sought after by government and private industry leaders. Within the House Science Committee, Bergeron has testified to the Sub-committee on Technology, on how government and private industry can better prepare for virus attacks. Bergeron has also served on the Silicon Valley Blue Ribbon Task Force on Aviation Security and Technology. The Task Force, comprised of experts from Silicon Valley in the areas of technology, business policy and aviation, delivered recommendations on how to increase aviation security.
