I am proud to join an organization that is committed to driving innovation and value with a customer-first approach, while maintaining a focus on the horizon for emerging cyber threats,” said Regev. “I look forward to collaborating with our research, product and technology teams to help customers and partners improve security that matches the pace of digital investments.”
