Frustrated by the current state of computer security, as well as the rising tide of malware, ransomware attacks, and data breaches, Karen and Alex realized that business as usual wasn’t working — it was time to take cybersecurity to a higher level with a groundbreaking new approach.
That lightbulb moment was the catalyst that led to the creation of HeartSuite. The team at HeartSuite have leveraged Karen and Alex’s insight and experience to build the ideal solution for organizations in need of an enterprise Linux server that’s secure, affordable, and easy to integrate into their current software ecosystem.
Karen Heart is a teacher, software developer, and attorney with many years of experience in multiple fields. From standalone end user applications to middleware to architecting distributed systems, Karen has created a wide range of software products and tools for a variety of industries, including publishing, banking, insurance, and logistics, among others.
As an attorney, Karen has concentrated her work in intellectual property and civil and criminal litigation, including some appellate work.
