White Rock Cybersecurity: Celebrating our Growth and Looking Forward

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our team’s incredible success and the milestones we hit as a company this year. 2022 was truly the year of growth – we expanded our events reach by hosting our first ever in-person events outside of the Dallas area, brought on brand new partners (check them out HERE), and moved into a bigger and better office space.

Fair warning, this blog is chock-full of shameless plugs as I dive into some of our achievements, but if you’re a cybersecurity fanatic like me, I think you’ll enjoy the read.

In 2022, our customer base and partnerships have grown exponentially, and we now have a strong presence in major tech hubs across the country. We kicked off the year by hosting three in-person events outside our Dallas home base – in Boston, Denver, and Charlotte. Meeting our stakeholders and learning from thought leaders in the cybersecurity space (in person!) was definitely a highlight.

Events like these wouldn’t be possible without our incredible partners. Our goal continues to be partnering with the best in the business so we can offer our clients the perfect mix of security solutions for their teams. Throughout the year, we’ve brought on new strategic partners and added new customers to our portfolio that we’re extremely proud to be working with. 

Arguably the biggest news of all? We moved! In August, we packed up and moved into a larger office space in Dallas to support the expansion of our team and continue our growth trajectory. We welcomed two Account Managers and an Office Manager to the White Rock family and partnered with a new marketing agency to help share our cybersecurity offerings with the world! 

The White Rock company culture has been a top priority for me in 2022 (and, of course, will continue to be). I'm always looking to hear what our “Rockers” need to create an environment for awesome work, foster support for the team, and have some fun along the way. Many of our employees are based in the Dallas area, and it was important for us to start giving back to our community.

For the sixth year, we sponsored a local BBQ competition, White Rock Que, benefiting the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center (DARCC). The event raised $125,000 and brought awareness for DARCC, an organization providing compassionate support to individuals impacted by sexual violence. We also sponsored Oktoberfest Dallas, a celebration of food and community, which benefited the Exchange Club of Lake Highlands’ grant and scholarship programs. Lastly, during the month of November, 10 members of our team participated in a run challenge to benefit Toys for Tots. Everyone ran at least a mile every day – yes, you read that right - and at the end of the challenge, we donated to the Toys for Tots Foundation in celebration of our runners' hard work!

Don’t forget to check out our LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter profiles for fun updates about employee events like these.

A well-rounded culture isn’t complete without celebrating and recognizing the work of our incredible team. We’re proud to share that we were again ranked on CRN’s “Fast Growth 150” for a third time! And our VP of Technology, Ron Brown, won the 2022 SentinelOne Technical Star trophy.

We look forward to continued partnerships and milestones in the coming year that’ll bring us all closer to making the cyber world safer for all. All that we’ve highlighted is a true reflection of our growth over the last nine years, and we’re extremely proud of each of these achievements. Thank you to our incredible team and customers – we wouldn’t be where we are without you!
