Pat Clawson is the former CEO of Terbium Labs and Blancco Technology Group (BLTG.L). Clawson also served as Chairman and CEO of Lumension Security and CyberGuard Corporation, a security software company he successfully grew and positioned for acquisition by Secure Computing. Prior to CyberGuard, Clawson served as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, a provider of clinical software and information systems.
