Securicore’s Story

Our Story – A legend told over generations begins at the dawn of time when there was a big black void, then a bang and a blinding flash of light. What happened next is a mystery, but great powers coalesced into little stones…….wait a minute… that’s not even an accurate rip-off from Marvel!

You got me! Here’s our real story - Securicore is a boutique IT Security and Network Solutions company formed in 2003 by Rahul Narsimhan. During our formative years, Rahul, the resident CISSP was engaged in security assessments for various clients and the one issue that all of them were complaining about was email spam and lack of an effective solution.

While he was burning the midnight oil building/coding/testing his own anti-spam appliance he came across an antispam appliance from a then unknown vendor - Barracuda Networks. The price and features sounded too good to be true so Securicore had to try it out. The rest is history, and Securicore continues to be one of their top partners in North America and the Top Partner in Canada, to date.

Just like Barracuda we only work with vendors that are agile, responsive, & adaptive to the ever-changing market. We offer solutions that are simple, effective, and affordable. We like to say we “eat our own dog food” because every solution we recommend and sell, has already passed muster with us. If we are not happy and satisfied neither will you and we would not be comfortable recommending it.

Since our humble beginnings we now have over 4500 clients across Canada. We have tried to stay true to our core beliefs by being focused on our customers and select vendors. However, we would not be here without you, our customers and vendors. And so, thank you for being part of our story.

Jatin is a Computer Science graduate from University of Windsor in Ontario/Canada and a recipient of the Academic Award of Excellence. He joined Securicore as an Application Developer in 2015 and was baptized by fire. He is responsible for all our in-house web development as well as creating customized captive portal authentication pages for our clients. He is also assists with wifi predictive planning. Jatin is the quietest guy in the office and flies under the radar, just like a ninja. He relates to his favourite movie character Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. We do not have the heart to tell him that Kevin always got left behind.

Elsa is a graduate of the SCMS School of Engineering and Technology in India where she received her Bachelors of Engineering in Electronics and Communications. Upon wrapping up her undergrad, Elsa headed down-under to complete her Masters at the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia.

Sihang is a recent graduate of Western University, where he received a Masters Degree in Software Engineering. Hailing from Wuhan, China where he completed his Bachelors at the Wuhan University of Technology, Sihang has since made a home for himself in Toronto (lucky us!). Joining our team as a Junior Full-Stack Developer, Sihang can often be found head-to-head with Jatin, working on our in-house web development.

Miu graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Studies. She moved to the East Coast with Milk Pudding (not the dessert but a cat she’s mildly allergic to, but chooses to ignore). Although Miu calls Canada home, she’s from Macau--a casino town in China. Despite Macau often being referred to as the Las Vegas of Asia, Miu has never gambled and, lucky for us, has no immediate plans for an alternate career. In her spare time, Miu loves watching cartoons and eating her favourite foods; sashimi, Korean BBQ and milk pudding (the dessert...not the cat!). Miu considers family, her feline friend, and art the three most important things in her life at the moment. We hope Securicore makes number four!

Kosta graduated from the University of Edinburgh where he studied Computer Science. Although he spent his degree fully immersing himself in the local culture, Kosta is no Scotsman. Originally from Ukraine, this world traveler now calls Toronto, Ontario home and, through his travels, has developed a deep appreciation for diversity, adventure, and fun!

Jonty is a recent graduate from Seneca College, where he honed his skills in Business Information Technology. Hailing from the vibrant city of Surat, Gujarat and having lived in several provinces across India, Jonty has a unique perspective and a diverse set of language skills. With his linguistic prowess, Jonty can effortlessly switch between Hindi, English, and Gujarati. And if that’s not impressive enough, Jonty has recently taken up French, making him a true polyglot. Très fantastique!
Jonty is not only a linguist, but also a passionate soccer enthusiast, and a die-hard Real Madrid fan. When he’s not kicking a ball or cheering on his team, Jonty can be found indulging in his other passions, such as listening to a fascinating podcast or watching an informative video on history or space. We look forward to working with this enthusiastic and talented team member.

The mystery man who is our financial controller works here only few days a week and does not want his identity revealed/ We’ve often wondered why? He is a Chartered Professional Accountant and a tax planner who is constantly reminding each of us to be frugal and save for a rainy day. Talking about rainy days, the day he shows up in the office wearing full rain gear, watch out! We’re sure to have severe rain and localized flooding in the city.
