New hire signals Commvault's continued
commitment to redefining cyber resilience and securing modern
hybrid enterprises
TINTON
FALLS, N.J., Oct. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault®, an
enterprise data protection leader for today's global
businesses, announced that veteran security leader
Alex Janas has joined the company as
its new Field Chief Technology Officer overseeing security. With
Janas' appointment, Commvault is doubling down on its commitment to
redefine data protection and deliver cyber resilience with
industry-leading threat detection and rapid recovery
capabilities.
"The line between IT operations and security operations is
blurring, creating an IT collision of new vulnerabilities that
enterprises need to properly control," said Rahul Pawar, CTO, Global Services and Solutions,
Commvault. "Alex's experience going head-to-head with the toughest
cyber threats out there gives us the invaluable insight to develop
an offensive security posture and help keep our customers safe from
these ongoing, pervasive autonomous threats."
Janas comes to Commvault with nearly 20 years of private sector
cybersecurity experience, as well as offensive security skills he
developed as an Analyst, Operator, and Technical Director while
working at the National Security Agency. He is a proud recipient of
the Master Operator designation, a prestigious honor bestowed upon
a select cadre of Computer Network Operations (CNO) personnel. His
career stands as a testament to his deep expertise, unwavering
commitment to national security, and protection of the private
sector while leading and mentoring other experts in the continually
evolving field of cybersecurity.
"The rapidly evolving threat landscape forces defenders to react
and respond on their adversaries' timetable and magnitude," said
Janas. "To effectively challenge this asymmetry, we need to create
strategies that increase the operational risks and costs for
attackers and minimize the fallout for victims, while also scaling
and keeping pace with an attacker's adaptations. Being a part of
Commvault allows me to apply my offensive cybersecurity experience
to enhance a product that is a pivotal layer in a company's
overarching cybersecurity strategy."
