Spokane Valley-based Intrinium Inc. has rebranded its cybersecurity services and plans to spin those services off into a company that focuses on providing cybersecurity measures for medium- and large-sized businesses.

Nolan Garrett, founder, owner, and president of Intrinium, says he has separated Intrinium’s cybersecurity consulting, hardware, and software offerings into a brand called TorchLight. 

Garrett says the nature of cybersecurity has become recognizably differentiated from the traditional information technology services, which Intrinium will continue to provide under its brand.

“Intrinium itself is almost 15 years old, and back when I founded it, cybersecurity was a subset of IT,” Garrett says. “But over the last seven or eight years, we’ve seen a steady migration of cybersecurity becoming its own practice ... with its own frameworks for how it’s managed and how it’s run. We’ve split the brand.”

Garrett says TorchLight is expected to become a separate business entity from Intrinium after the end of the current fiscal year. 

TorchLight vice president of cybersecurity solutions Bo Wheeler says the cyber defense operations can evaluate customers’ existing security measures or risk of breaches, as well as suggest technology to assist in strengthening a customer’s cybersecurity environment.

Garrett says TorchLight is focusing on midsize to large companies throughout the U.S., whereas Intrinium primarily is serving small and midsized businesses in the Pacific Northwest.

“We’re hiring all over the U.S. at this point for the various roles we have within that organization,” Garrett says.

TorchLight has 42 full-time employees and wants to add about 10 more. Intrinium has about 10 employees under its brand. The two brands are at 4418 E. Eighth, in Spokane Valley.
