Sergiusz Paprzycki Appointed Director of Critical Infrastructure at Viatel Technology Group
Viatel Technology Group, Ireland’s leading business technology and cybersecurity provider, has announced the appointment of Sergiusz Paprzycki as Director of Critical Infrastructure. This appointment will further empower Viatel in the secure delivery of mission-critical communications and essential digital services to its valued public and private sector customers.
In an era of escalating cyber threats and stringent regulatory demands, Viatel recognises the paramount importance of safeguarding its customers’ operations. Sergiusz’s appointment reinforces Viatel’s proactive approach to bolstering its internal infrastructure and enhancing the security posture of its customers.
“As an ISO 27001 accredited organisation, designated as an essential large entity under NIS 2 legislation, Viatel is setting the benchmark for best practice,” stated Paul Rellis, CEO of Viatel Technology Group. “Our customers rely on us to navigate the complex landscape of cybersecurity and compliance. Sergiusz’s leadership will ensure we not only meet, but exceed, their expectations, providing them with the assurance they need to protect their sensitive data and maintain business continuity.”
“By strengthening our own critical infrastructure, we directly enhance the security and resilience of the services we provide to our customers. We also work closely with our customers to develop customised roadmaps for their own technological evolution. Partnering with us means our customers can focus on their core business, knowing they are in safe hands.”
The appointment comes at a key point in time, with increased scrutiny on supply chain security. Sergiusz brings nearly two decades of invaluable experience to the role, having progressed through the ranks at Viatel, from an engineering role in the 24/7/365 Network Operations Centre to the Senior Leadership Team.
“Sergiusz’s deep technical expertise, unwavering customer focus, and proven leadership make him the ideal candidate to spearhead our critical infrastructure initiatives,” added Paul Rellis. “His work will directly translate into enhanced security and reliability for our customers, empowering them to operate with confidence in an increasingly volatile cyber landscape.”
Sergiusz Paprzycki, the newly appointed Director of Critical Infrastructure at Viatel, emphasised the company’s commitment to proactive cyber resilience. “The services we provide are fundamental to our customers’ operations. We are continuously implementing rigorous systems, processes, and safeguards to strengthen our resilience. This ensures our customers benefit from the most robust and secure solutions available and can be confident in the integrity of their supply chain.”
Sergiusz’ appointment follows the strategic hiring of Ed Heneghan as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in January 2025, further demonstrating Viatel’s commitment to investing in cybersecurity leadership.
