IT Security Firm, Bishop Fox, is One of the Top Companies to Work for in Arizona

Firm Demonstrates Why Silicon Valley Has Competition from the Valley of the Sun

PHOENIX, AZ (MMD Newsire) June 30, 2014 — CareerBuilder and Republic Media (The Arizona Republic, azcentral.com, La Voz) announced today that IT security firm, Bishop Fox, earned a place on the CareerBuilder Top Companies to Work for in Arizona list.

Information security is a hot commodity these days. Following incidents such as the Heartbleed vulnerability, and breaches such as AT&T, P.F. Chang’s, and Target, more businesses are seeking infosec services. According to some experts, the already $60-billion industry is expected to grow tenfold in the next decade.

The Phoenix area stands to benefit from the industry’s increasing popularity. Information security is one spoke on the IT wheel. As chronicled in a recent article by USA Today, Phoenix is experiencing something of a “tech boom.”

Thanks to businesses such as Bishop Fox and educational institutions like the University of Advancing Technology, the greater Phoenix area has assets that place it alongside more established tech hubs like Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Vincent Liu, partner at Bishop Fox, co-wrote an Arizona Republic article last year titled “How Arizona Can Dominate the Cybersecurity Industry.” As information security becomes more and more crucial, Arizona – particularly Phoenix – can be a leader in the field.

2013 was a year of remarkable growth for the nine-year-old IT security consulting firm. Bishop Fox also rebranded last year, transforming itself from its previous identity, Stach & Liu.

“We are proud to be recognized as one of Arizona’s ‘Top Companies to Work for,’” says Liu. “Attracting and retaining talent directly contributes to our steady growth, profitability, and industry-leading services and solutions. We are thankful for our employees’ hard work and dedication, and look forward to future success as a company.”

The firm prides itself on a relaxed and casual atmosphere, plus generous benefits for employees. Winners were announced at a “Top Companies” breakfast reception on June 27. The full list of winners and related stories is scheduled to appear in a special supplement in the June 29 edition of The Arizona Republic, and online at www.TopCompanies.azcentral.com and www.BestCompaniesAZ.com.

Currently, Bishop Fox is hiring. To learn more about the firm and its careers opportunities, visit www.bishopfox.com.
