Scott Visconti’s Background

When asked about his background, Visconti shared:

I bring over three decades of experience at the forefront of networking and cybersecurity, shaped by each major wave of infrastructure innovation.

I started my career coding in IBM mainframe environments, then moved into early LAN technologies with pioneers like Banyan Systems and Chipcom during the hub-and-switch era.

In the 1990s, I helped build the foundation of the modern internet with Ascend Communications, and later played a key executive role in scaling enterprise wireless networking at Airespace, culminating in its acquisition by Cisco Systems.

Today, as CEO and co-founder of Xiid, I’m focused on driving the next evolution of secure connectivity with zero trust and post-quantum architectures for SOCs, AI-driven environments, and critical infrastructure, continuing a career centered on anticipating and shaping the future of network security.
