After three years of service, Arpad Toth chief technologist of GTSI left the company in September 2006 to dedicate his full-time attention in building a new company ALACERA International. At GTSI, Arpad helped the company in new strategic directions and spearheaded ways to make technology a differentiator for GTSI. He brought together many of the industry's best and brightest to create the first of a kind physical security group: the InteGuard Alliance. This group helped form the original backbone of GTSI's physical security business. Arpad was the chairman of the GTSI Technology Council, a recognized spokesman for the company by actively participating in forums as a speaker and as a “good quote” with the media.

Arpad became chairman and CEO of Alacera International, a firm focused on providing a wide range of customized security protection solutions and services to nations located in the Persian Gulf, Middle East, North Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and also in North America .
