Eric H. Gore

President & Chief Executive Officer

Eric Gore formerly was Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ), a global IT security products company focused on network-based intrusion prevention and Regulated Information Compliance Systems. The company launched a number of innovative go-to-market strategies and sales campaigns under Mr. Gore’s leadership.
 
For example, as Intrusion’s SecureNet Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) approached Federal Government approval under the National Security Administration’s (NSA) Common Criteria certification process, Mr. Gore initiated a national sales campaign aimed at providing the company’s offerings to the US Department of Defense. Key among the company’s DoD customers are numerous US Army sites including Fort Hood, Fort Huachuca and many others. In particular, a $2.5 Million SecureNet project sold by Mr. Gore and his team to Fort Hood was recognized in 2005 for The Aberdeen Group’s “Best Security Practices” award for demonstrating security industry thought leadership and project execution.

Some of the other Intrusion Inc. initiatives under Mr. Gore’s leadership included a new product introduction along with creation of a national channel sales organization aimed at the regulated information compliance and identity theft prevention markets, particularly in the financial services sector, for the company’s Compliance Commander System. Under Mr. Gore’s direction, the company implemented an innovative Identity Theft Assessment offering that was implemented at over 100 US financial institutions.

Prior to his role as VP Worldwide Sales with Intrusion, Mr. Gore was Vice President of Strategic Business with ODS Networks, where he was employed from 1984 until the formation of Intrusion Inc., in 2001. Prior to ODS Networks in 1984, Mr. Gore was a Regional Product Marketing Manager for five years at Texas Instruments.

Mr. Gore holds a Bachelors Degree in Business Management (BBA) from the University of North Texas and a Masters Degree in Finance (MBA) from Hardin-Simmons University.
