Rapid Response Promotes Chad Wright to Chief Technology Officer

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Rapid Response Monitoring Services announces Chad Wright has been promoted to chief technology officer (CTO). He was previously serving as vice president of technical services.

As CTO, Wright will oversee initiatives in information technology and software development and will plan the future of technical development at Rapid Response, the company says.

Wright joined Rapid Response in 2017 as vice president of technical services and was responsible for the management of the information technology, programming and project management teams.

Rapid Response says he managed the 99.999% uptime SLA across two data centers and led development for commercial applications. He has held the position of CTO previously at MicroAutomation and at Salesblade.

Upon joining Rapid Response Wright almost immediately faced challenges, the company notes in its announcement. As the company’s headquarters and monitoring center expanded in Syracuse, N.Y., the COVID pandemic made evident the need for dispersed and remote work connections for non-monitoring personnel, and the need for a broader based operations team led to the development of the company’s new Henderson, Nev., facility.

Wright’s efforts in meeting these challenges, and many others, were critical in keeping Rapid Response in position to be highly competitive, particularly in what continues to be an uncertain economic environment, according to the company.

“There is no stronger or clearer indication of a company’s sophistication and competitive strength than the level of expertise exhibited by its employees,” says Rapid Response President Jeffrey Atkins. “I am confident that in his new role as Rapid Response CTO, Chad will provide and inspire the very highest level of excellence in supporting Rapid Response as a leader in this industry.”

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers. Gunshot detection provider ShotSpotter filed a lawsuit against media company Vice, alleging it is profiting off of fabricated claims. Vice has been critical about ShotSpotter’s technology in a multitude of articles. Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
