AttackIQ, a specialist in Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) systems, has appointed John Brown to lead its Global Channel business, according to a prepared statement.
BAS Market Primed for Expansion
Brown comes aboard at a time of mass expansion in the automated BAS market, with global revenue expected to surpass $3.5 billion by 2026, AttackIQ says. The company predicts that the number of global partners will almost double as a direct result of growing demand for BAS technologies.
Brown expressed his enthusiasm for the job ahead:
"I joined AttackIQ because I was deeply impressed with their market leadership in the Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) space. Channel partners that I have worked with for the past 20 years have expressed a high interest in the valuable data and defense mechanism with which AttackIQ can provide them, so I am thrilled to embark on a new journey and look forward to supporting their mission to equip customers and partners with expertise and knowledge in building threat-informed defense practices."
Brown's experience over two decades includes leadership positions across the EMEA Channel for Menlo Security Inc., and as director for Northern Europe & Middle East. He also served as EMEA director of Strategic Alliances for LogRhythm.
