Digital Hands -- a Top 200 MSSP, SOCaaS and MDR (managed detection and response) cybersecurity service provider -- has hired SecureWorks veteran Jeff Multz as chief revenue officer (CRO).

Multz will lead Digital Hands' global sales strategy and execution for both direct and partner growth objectives, the Tampa, Florida-based MSSP says.

The move comes less than one year after Digital Hands raised $15 million from private equity firm Fulcrum Equity Partners. The MSSP has also built a relationship with global distributor Ingram Micro.

The overall Digital Hands cybersecurity portfolio spans:

  • MSSP Services;
  • Managed Firewall;
  • Managed IDS/IPS;
  • Web Application Firewall;
  • Network Security;
  • Unified Threat Management; and
  • Managed Endpoint Protection.

Digital Hands supports over 40 cybersecurity technologies and intends to expand legacy support to an increasingly complex vendor environment, the company says.

Added Multz:

"I am truly honored and excited to join this 'mature startup' and leverage my decades of sales leadership and entrepreneurial experience for the new generation of sales at Digital Hands.
