NSS Labs Adds Aggarwal as CMO (MESA)
Story Highlights
Cybersecurity research and testing firm NSS Labs has added Gautam Aggarwal as its new chief marketing officer, a new position within the company. He’ll be charged with overseeing the company’s corporate brand strategy, marketing communications, product and partner marketing, and other go-to-market strategies. Aggarwal will also be responsible for leading enterprise class product development, and helping to drive adoption of the company’s Cyber Advanced Warning System (CAWS), a SaaS cybersecurity platform. Aggarwal will report to company CEO Vikram Phatak.
“Gautam is a very passionate, results driven Executive,” Phatak said. “With his technical background and extensive marketing experience, we are confident Gautam will be a key contributor in taking NSS Labs to the next level.”
Aggarwal previously served as CMO for security analytics company Bay Dynamics, where he led that company’s marketing, analyst and media relations, and inside sales. Before Bay Dynamics, he was VP of product marketing for FireEye.
“The cyber security industry is definitely at an inflection point with the cost of breaches now in trillions,” he said. “The C-suite, enterprise leaders and their security and risk teams are facing a continuous challenge of being inundated with millions of alerts and surrounded by a myriad of security tools sitting in their arsenal. Worst of all, there is a lack of a cohesive cyber risk protection strategy which is tightly aligned to industry frameworks, driving enrichment of the security tools and enabling the security teams with the right process and workflow automation.
“With NSS Labs’ CAWS Platform, vendor agnostic testing and the valuable trust gained with our customers and partners, we have a tremendous opportunity to drive a new innovative approach to achieve secure cyber risk posture through alignment, enrichment and automation. I’m looking forward to working with the world class team at NSS Labs to deliver the true value to our customers which they so rightly deserve,” Aggarwal added.
