Each of these has contributed to helping build our profile and brand recognition with the right audiences.”
Lumina’s Enterprise Software and Services practice added new clients including Array Information Technology, an application service provider committed to optimizing mission performance; SPHERE, an award-winning industry leader in providing security assessments and remediation services for some of the world’s largest companies; and Valtix, the industry’s first cloud-native network security platform.

The team has not only stayed abreast of this exciting transformation but ahead of it, weaving a sharp narrative for thought leadership and ongoing presence in the media,” said Sumeet Shrivastava, president and CEO, Array Information Technology.
