Virsec reported significant momentum in the first half of 2021 with solid revenue growth, strategic customer validation and testing, and prominent industry acceptance of its non-traditional approach to reducing cyber threats.

To further drive business acceleration, the company has appointed Jennifer Leggio as Chief Marketing Officer, and Kevin Jones as Vice President of Public Sector and Business Development.

"2021 is a pivotal year for Virsec. The industry realizes the critical need to protect application workloads at runtime," said Dave Furneuax, Chief Executive Officer of Virsec.

To support this, Virsec has also appointed Robert Nobilo as regional director, Australia, and New Zealand, who recently served in strategic sales leadership roles with Palo Alto Networks and Dimension Data, and Girish Rao as regional director, APAC, who brings high-growth expertise from his tenure at Checkmarx, CA Technologies, and IBM. As part of its global expansion into 16 countries over the past year, Virsec has built an increasingly solid strategic alliance partner network.

Over the past five months, Virsec has made significant investments in innovation, business leadership, and growth, including the addition of well-respected cybersecurity leaders John Chambers and Jim Routh as board and company advisors to further position Virsec as the cybersecurity leader to watch.

The Virsec Security Platform 2.0 delivered a powerful solution for container workload protection with runtime visibility and zero-dwell-time defense throughout running container images, including binaries, libraries, interpreted code, and memory.
