Lepanto serves on the executive committee of K Street Capital and leads Keiretsu’s CleanTech Committee as vice chairman. He instantly recognized DigitSec’s potential and reached out to the company to invest, then joined the team.

Before that, he served as vice president of technology operations for Mindshare Interactive Campaigns.

The SaaS market compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is pegged at more than 20 percent*. The increasing number of Salesforce deployments, growing amount of customer personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data stored, and increasing number of integrations with enterprise applications presents a larger- and more lucrative – attack surface for bad actors.
The company’s patented DigitSec SaaS Security Scanner™- S4 for Salesforce™ is the most comprehensive application security testing platform purpose-built for Salesforce. It integrates multiple security tools, empowering developers and administrators to accurately identify security issues faster and with far fewer false positives than traditional AppSec testing solutions. It offers an automated penetration testing solution combining static source code analysis (SAST), interactive runtime testing (IAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and cloud security configuration review for a full-spectrum Salesforce security assessment.
