This news comes on the heels of two new key executive hires including Mike O’Malley as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Karl Mattson as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The need for API security solutions shows no sign of slowing. In a recent survey commissioned by Noname, 76% of respondents reported having suffered an API security incident in the last 12 months. The potential threats have increased exponentially, as the volume of APIs organizations leverage continues to rise. Analyst firm 451 Research released a survey earlier this year finding organizations have an average of 15,564 APIs in use and a growth rate of 201% over a 12 month period.
“The market opportunity for API Security is massive, as organizations continue to embrace digital transformation,” said Ran Harpaz, COO at Noname Security. “I am honored and invigorated to join the Noname leadership team at this pivotal time, and I look forward to helping drive the company towards its next phase of growth.”
