Summary
Anthony Arrott is a seasoned technology and security analytics leader with over three decades of experience spanning space research, satellite project finance, internet-era startups, and commercial security testing. Trained in physics, physiology, and biomedical engineering at McGill and MIT, he co-founded Payload Systems which flew the first commercial experiments on Mir and later transitioned into defense conversion and satellite due diligence at Arthur D. Little. Since the mid-2000s he has specialized in digital threat research, benchmark testing, and security metrics—managing threat research at InterMute, leading Trend Micro’s competitive benchmarking efforts, and directing security analytics at CheckVir. Anthony combines deep technical rigor with market-savvy advisory work for investors and vendors, having evaluated communications infrastructure projects across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. An unusual mix of hands-on spaceflight instrumentation, academic research in sensory-motor neuroscience, and commercial security benchmarking gives him a rare perspective on measurement-driven product strategy and risk assessment. He currently partners at Ahead Decision and Seacoast Infosurety, applying analytics-forward approaches to security and investment decisions.
