People want to join our movement. Frankly, we can’t grow fast enough.”

Chris Ostertag has taken on broader responsibility at Securonix, leading business development and pre-sales as part of an overall integrated field operations and revenue generation strategy. Chris joined Securonix in 2016 as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and has a track record for building sales teams at multiple high-growth startups including Skipjaq (machine learning for website performance), AlertEnterprise (identity access management), and SailPoint Technologies (identity and access management).

Andrew Vallila joins Securonix as Vice President of Sales for the North America. Andrew is an industry veteran who has led solution-oriented sales teams to revenue growth and customer success, including roles at One Identity (identity and access management), Oracle, and Sun Microsystems.

Jim Burroughs joins Securonix as Vice President of Mid-Market Sales.

In the last few months Securonix has been recognized by major analyst firms for its cutting-edge security solutions, industry leadership, and maturity in the security analytics space. Gartner added Securonix to the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management, bypassing the niche quadrant and placing Securonix as a visionary. Gartner also gave Securonix its highest ranking for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA). Forrester named Securonix a “strong performer” in its 2017 Forrester Wave for Security Analytics Report.
