Data Loss Protection vs. Data Loss Prevention—What’s the Difference at viLogics?
Shawn Long – Founder & CEO, viLogics Shawn Long is a seasoned entrepreneur and the Founder and CEO of viLogics, a leading managed cybersecurity service provider specializing in multi-cloud security and cloud hosting. Throughout his career, Long has built and led high-growth organizations, demonstrating a keen ability to innovate in the evolving technology landscape. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Polymer Engineering, Long began his career as a cellular network engineer at Verizon Wireless. However, his entrepreneurial spirit soon led him to launch his first startup in 1996—Electronic Claims Processing (ECP). ECP served as a data-processing clearinghouse for healthcare claims, providing software and hardware solutions for medical and dental firms. In 2008, during the financial crisis, ECP leveraged its strong financial position to acquire MedcomSoft, a publicly traded electronic health records company listed on the TSX under the symbol MFT. Under Long’s leadership, MedcomSoft transitioned into a private entity and experienced remarkable growth, expanding its national presence by 358% over five years. Recognizing a growing demand for enterprise IT security solutions, Long founded viLogics as a sister company to provide comprehensive managed cybersecurity services. Early key clients included Dell Training Services and IBM Global Services, focusing on VMware online training support. By 2014, Long shifted his full attention to his passion—cybersecurity and cloud hosting. He sold MedcomSoft to Harris Computer Systems and positioned viLogics as a premier managed cybersecurity service provider. Today, viLogics delivers cutting-edge solutions, with a core emphasis on cloud-to-endpoint data protection through its flagship offering, Total Secure Office (TSO). In addition to his extensive industry experience, Long holds a range of top-tier certifications from Microsoft, VMware, Veeam, Fortinet, IBM, EMC, Dell, and AWS, solidifying his expertise in the cybersecurity and cloud technology sectors.
