MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ:
CYRN) today announced the appointment of Atif Ahmed
as vice president of sales for Europe, Middle
East and Africa (EMEA).
Based in the UK, Ahmed's responsibilities include overseeing the
region's sales, services, strategic channels and alliances, as well
as driving additional business in new EMEA territories.
With more than 20 years of experience in the security space,
Ahmed most recently served in senior sales leadership positions at
AppSense, Websense and Check Point Software. He also previously
held sales management roles in the security business
unit at Azlan and at Acer UK.
"I'm excited to join CYREN at such a pivotal time, as businesses
are really struggling to protect their users and data from
cybercriminals in today's mobile and cloud-centric world," Ahmed
said. "CYREN's SaaS web and email security products are poised to
dramatically disrupt the failed appliance-based approach to
security. With the company's expanded commitment to the
region, we aim to be a pure-play channel organization that
provides partners with unmatched tools, support and ongoing
investment."
"Atif brings an established record of sales success and security
expertise that will further strengthen our sales leadership team
throughout Europe," said
Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of
the Board at CYREN. "I welcome Atif to the CYREN team, as we
continue to serve an ever-growing number of Europe's largest and most distinguished
organizations – providing them with powerful cloud-based
security."
