Sean Moshir - Founder, CEO & Chairman


Sean Moshir envisions a world where the mobile device will be crucial to validating identity and passionately advocates CellTrust’s core mission to provide an intelligent environment for the trusted and convenient exchange of relevant, often highly confidential, high-risk and personal data via the mobile device.

Over the last two decades, Moshir has led several industry changing technology initiatives including the creation of ManageWare, the world's first network management language, which he then sold to IBM. In the early nineties, he co-developed one of the very first network anti-virus VAPs for Central Point Software, which was eventually acquired by Symantec Corporation. Moshir then created sophisticated network tools called NetBasic which he licensed and then sold to Novell. In 2001, Moshir sold IT management provider Altiris (now Symantec) a system management software program designed for UNIX/Linux operating systems. Just a few years later in 2004, Moshir's PatchLink Update™ was licensed to Novell.

As founder of the security patch vulnerability management and remediation space, in just a few years, Moshir led PatchLink’s (now Lumension Security) hyper growth aggressively increasing personnel from 18 to over 200 employees and global expansion to the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore resulting in a 25-fold increase in sales revenue. Mr. Moshir has attracted over 40 million USD in investment and venture capital over the last decade for his companies in Arizona.

Moshir has received recognition and honors from industry and business publications such as Network World, Network Computing, Software Magazine, IT Security, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. In 2003, PatchLink™ Corporation (now Lumension Security) and its founder Sean Moshir were awarded the 2003 Arizona Innovators award from the governor of Arizona for excellence. 2004 brought the prestigious INC 500 award and in 2005 Moshir was among 16 senior security industry executives worldwide from companies such as BEA Systems and Tipping Point to receive the “Shaping Info Security 2005 Award. In 2007 Mr. Moshir was appointed to the International Advisory Board of SCIPP a non-profit organization dedicated to taking security to the global organization as well as the individual. In 2008, Mr. Moshir led CellTrust to win three prestigious awards, namely the CTIA Emerging Technology Finalist Award, the Fierce 15 Top Emerging Wireless Companies 2008 Award, and the Best of WiMAX World EMEA 2008 Industry Choice Award nomination within the innovation category for its patent pending Global SecureSMS™ Gateway.
