Travis Norris

Vice President & COO | DataComm Networks Inc.

tnorris@datacomm.com

Travis Norris, a graduate of the University of South Florida, joined DataComm in 2001. In 2008, along with business partner Brian Boyer, he purchased DataComm. Now serving as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for DataComm, Travis looks to utilize his long tenure combined with new ideas to continue DataComm’s growth. Travis has energized DataComm – concentrating on standardizing operations, maintaining positive cashflow, generating an employee-focused culture, and staying up to date with the latest technology trends to lead DataComm and continue a track record of prosperity. He is always looking for better ways for DataComm to conduct business and has put those ideas to good use, centering on implementing technologies that improve process and security. The “do-it” attitude has always guided him and it is initially met with apprehension. He has transformed many that initially would say that they “Can’t do it” to “Can’t do it yet.”

Update Fatigue: How the relentless pace of software updates is breaking user trust — and what organizations can do about it

Somewhere between the fourteenth update notification of the week and the third forced restart during a critical deadline, something breaks. Not the software — the user. They click "Remind me later." Then again. And again. Eventually, they stop updating altogether. This is update fatigue — and it's quietly becoming one of the most significant and underappreciated vulnerabilities in organizational cybersecurity today.

Strengthening the Human Element: The Most Underestimated Cyber Defense

Cybersecurity isn’t just a technology problem—it’s a people problem. Attackers increasingly rely on social engineering, phishing, and business email compromise to exploit trust and urgency, leading to costly mistakes. Strengthening the “human element” means building a culture of pause-and-verify, reinforcing role-based training for real-world scenarios, and designing simple processes that prevent errors before they happen. With the right mix of habits, safeguards, and measurement, organizations can reduce risk quickly—and DataComm can help you turn awareness into lasting, measurable defense.

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)

Mitigating risk across hardware, software, cloud services, and third-party ecosystems Supply chain risk now extends beyond hardware and on-premises software. Organizations rely on cloud service providers, SaaS platforms, managed service providers, and their subprocessors. Compromise of any upstream dependency can affect your environment, often through legitimate channels like APIs and delegated access. NIST SP 800-161 […]

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Why Modern Organizations Need a New Approach to Application Security

Hybrid work, SaaS adoption, and cloud migration have weakened traditional security perimeters. Effective protection now depends on dynamic, identity- and device-aware access. ZTNA enables application-specific, session-based permissions, reducing risk and limiting lateral movement. Zero Trust, According to NIST NIST Special Publication 800-207 describes Zero Trust as a set of cybersecurity paradigms that treat the network […]

Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era

How DataComm is future-proofing encrypted communications with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) Quantum computing is advancing rapidly and could, within the coming decade or two, enable attacks that break widely used public-key cryptographic algorithms like RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC). While no quantum system today can defeat modern encryption, adversaries may already be collecting encrypted data for […]
