Shane Breland
CIO, Core4ce
Shane Breland led the successful migration of Core4ce’s critical enterprise systems to GovCloud and Government Community Cloud High environments. This move not only imporves Core4ce’s security posture and ensures compliance, but demonstrates to customers that Core4ce is proactive about securing data to protect national interests.
Breland is also proud of his role in Core4ce’s recent acquisition of Azimuth Corp., which will expand capabilities in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, AI/ML, threat protection and warfighter support.
“I’m particularly excited about the R&D work that Core4ce is conducting related to predictive analytics, data visualization and machine learning-driven sensor technology,” Breland said. “Our team aims to accelerate the pace at which new technologies advance from the research phase to operational deployment, so I’ll be focused on ensuring we’re positioned to move efficiently without sacrificing security.”
Why Watch
In 2025, Breland is focusing on further enhancing Core4ce’s cybersecurity posture, more deeply integrating AI and automation into business processes, and improving data and content access to support growth. It’s important to leverage AI to improve efficiency in areas like analyzing large amounts of threat data and matching corporate capabilities and resources with customer needs. Core4ce is focusing heavily on growth in 2025, and Breland plans to leverage a combination of internally developed and commercially available solutions to make corporate data more accessible to the team.
“Shane is a highly trusted and respected member of Core4ce’s executive team and has played a critical role in our recent growth,” said Core4ce CEO Mike Morehouse. “In addition to his technical credentials, he’s earned a reputation as our resident problem solver who is always willing to lend a hand and provide support to his colleagues.
“He and his team worked tirelessly to enhance the security posture of our enterprise systems this year, and I’m sincerely grateful for his dedication and leadership.”
Fun fact: After dropping out of college for the second time, Breland worked as a roughneck on an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Working grueling 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, 100 miles off the coast of Louisiana was enough to send him running back to college looking for something to do with his brain rather than his back.
