The company’s newly launched Unified Security Posture and Response platform, CompassOne, is poised to redefine how organizations manage threats, cyber posture, and response to incidents in real-time, bringing unprecedented visibility, speed, and simplicity to security operations.
Gagan Singh brings more than two decades of executive leadership in cybersecurity and platform development, with a track record of building secure, scalable products and leading go-to-market strategy at companies like McAfee, Norton, and Avast.
