Helping clients avoid financial losses and downtime

IT GOAT has built a strong reputation for delivering first-class IT services to businesses of all sizes, handling everything from remote help desk support to cybersecurity and compliance. They also specialize in disaster recovery and high-level consulting, including virtual CIO services.

Knowing that many of their customers were struggling with the risks of poor password management and unsafe credential sharing—issues that can lead to downtime and financial losses—the company decided early on to make offering a reliable, trusted, and proven password manager a core part of their services.

Top security and easy adoption are must-haves

With so many password managers to choose from—and with some experience using one in the past—IT GOAT wanted to be sure they picked the right one. So, before making any commitments, they took the extra time to test and evaluate several potential candidates. After discovering NordPass through their network and seeing firsthand how powerful and easy to use it was—not just for password management but beyond—they knew it was the perfect fit for their offering.

“Before we switched to NordPass, we were using another popular password manager, LastPass™, [which is] a good product, but they were dealing with some security issues for a while, and we, as a managed services provider, have zero tolerance for that kind of risk. In our industry, delivering only top-quality products is non-negotiable—if we don’t do that, we risk losing our clients.

So, we decided to make a change. NordPass was recommended by one of our distributors, Pax8, so we started evaluating it and found that it had a lot of great security features, like safe credential sharing. After testing it internally, we saw that the team adopted it really quickly. We’ve been recommending it to our clients ever since,” said Mike Murphy, CEO of IT GOAT.

We are thrilled to welcome him to the ESET team and to see this business reach its full potential in North America.”
Everette is an accomplished cybersecurity veteran with more than two decades of global IT security leadership.

Everette has acted as a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies, municipalities, and venture capital firms evaluating cybersecurity investments. He has also worked extensively with federal agencies, including Homeland Security, and has been involved in addressing many of the most significant data breaches over the past 15 years.

“As a CISO and security practitioner myself, it’s important to me that I work with vendors known for technology excellence – and that’s what led me to ESET,” said Everette. “ESET is recognized across the industry for the strength of its products, in-house innovation, and unwavering commitment to its customers. I’m not coming in as a salesperson but as a peer who can relate to other CISOs because I’ve been in their shoes. I’m excited to help grow ESET’s presence in the North American market.”
