Cyberteam Security Services

David from Cyberteam was involved in various high profile, high priority projects, including porting our Oracle-based laboratory database from a VAX/VMS platform to a Unix one, configuring and supporting our new regional GIS weather mapping project and helping us to achieve a standard approach to secure systems design and build. His contributions during these successful projects were extensive, his solutions well-thought out and implemented with an assured touch. At all times, David kept me apprised of the work he was doing, and planned to do. As a result, I was able to plan more effectively, secure in the knowledge that David had his side firmly under control.

David proved himsef to be a reliable, adaptive security analyst, and would certainly employ him again.

I had the pleasure as the project leader to have David of Cyberteam working for me, as part of my project team, implementing the CaTS United Trading Floor project here at UBS, in Opfikon, Zurich. His duties involved many aspects of the project from Solaris Unix server implementation, hardware and software, to network security, and data replication. I can safely say that he was excellent in all aspects of his work, he was very friendly, was able to communicate to everyone, and was a joy to work with.

Sebastian Kowalski / Project Manager / PerotSystems, at UBS, Zurich, Switzerland

David of Cyberteam worked for Perot Systems, for the implementation of the UBS Capital Trading System (CaTS) securities trading system upgrade. The CaTS system was part of the larger project to establish a United Trading Floor that merged the trading organisations of the former Swiss Bank Corporation and Union Bank of Switzerland. CaTS processes almost half of the trades done on the Swiss Stock Excahnge, and therfore it is critical to UBS and the Stock Exchange. David performed his duties in an outstanding manner, the combination of his expertise and ability to work long hours in a high pressure environment were key factors in the successful completion of the CaTS 6 implementation. He was also a good team player, helping other project team members when they needed assistance. We would hire him again for a similar project. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation for his security services and to wish him success in his future endeavours.
