Additionally, he was a member of the executive management team at several technological firms that were acquired successfully, including Rainbow Technologies (by SafeNet), M86 Security (by Trustwave), and Securly (acquired by Golden Gate Capital).

“The XDR market is growing at greater than 20%. BluSapphire’s approach to solving the cybersecurity challenge for enterprise organizations positions us to capture a significant percentage of this opportunity. I was impressed the first time I saw their solution and look forward to building their team and scale business in the US,” said Luis Curet, VP–Sales, North America, BluSapphire.
