“Organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats targeting their employees and infrastructure,” said Jenny Menna. “NetAbstraction provides a veil of secrecy that prevents attackers from monitoring their activities and targeting their footprint. I look forward to working with the company to grow the market for this exciting new approach to cyber security.”
Rob Truesdell has been a leader in the cybersecurity space for over 15 years specializing in early stage and high growth products. He currently leads product direction and execution for the cloud-based security operations products at Splunk. Previously, Rob led product management for the award winning Phantom Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform and helped grow the product category, until the company’s acquisition by Splunk in 2018. Earlier in his career he helped bring several high-performance network security applications to market such as Next-Gen Firewall and Intrusion Prevention (Sourcefire), SSL Inspection (acquired by Blue Coat in 2013), as well as an array of Network Virtualization solutions.
“While most security approaches focus on detection, prevention and response, NetAbstraction is helping organizations conceal their presence to evade attacks altogether,” said Rob Truesdell. “This is a unique, powerful new defence strategy. I’m glad to be joining the company’s advisory board and help grow their business.”
