Robert Cote

For the past 19 years, Rob Cote has dedicated his career to helping organizations protect against Cyber Attacks successfully. When Rob set out to build his own Cyber Security firm, he decided to bring enterprise-level Cyber Security consulting to mid-market organizations.

His technology career began 35 years ago with an operational background supporting, deploying, and managing a wide variety of IT systems for global outsourcing firms, including EDS, Perot Systems, and Cap Gemini.  This outsourcing experience provided critical insights that were the impetus for launching managed program offerings like Compliance as a Service (CaaS) and TARA at Security Vitals.  Under his stewardship, Security Vitals has successfully transitioned from a start-up to a recognized industry innovator, as evidenced by awards for Most Valuable Entrepreneur in 2021 and Best MichBusiness Technology Gurus in 2020.

As a two-time company founder, Rob revels in the entrepreneurial experience and building companies. However, his passion for creating doesn’t stop at the office. In his “downtime,” Rob is rev-ing the engines of the unique performance cars he constructs from scratch.
