AI-driven threat detection and response outfit for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, Vectra has appointed Keith Wilkinson as its new AVP, leading the UK&I.
Wilkinson joins Vectra from AWS, where he served as Head of GTM Productivity Applications for EMEA and built a technology go-to-market from the ground-up, responsible for strategy and sales execution. Before that, he held several notable leadership positions at Dynatrace, ClickSoftware (acquired by Salesforce) and Genesys.
Wilkinson said that organisations were confronted with an ever-expanding attack surface and emerging attacker techniques; this increases SOC workloads resulting in an overwhelming ‘spiral of more’.
“Now’s the time to bring cyber resiliency and security trust to organisations’ enterprise environments”, he said.
“I look forward to forming close alliances with customers and partners, to help them find and prevent cyberattacks becoming business-impacting breaches.”
Vectra SVP EME Teppo Halonen said Wilkinson bought a wealth of expertise following several EMEA sales leadership roles, partnering with companies that differentiate through delivering great customer experience whilst helping to accelerate business outcomes leveraging AI and the Cloud.
“We have a great base of customers and partners in the UK/I and the momentum is building, particularly with the launch of Attack Signal Intelligence and Vectra MDR (Managed Detection and Response). Wilkinson’s experience will without doubt help us bring the unique threat detection capability we offer to even more customers and partners in the region.”
