), a leader in collective defense and network traffic analysis, today announced 
that it has appointed Gaurav Chhiber as Vice President of Sales for 
Asia/Pacific and Japan (APJ). Chhiber will establish IronNet's presence in APJ 
to support existing customers and drive new business for IronNet's IronDefense 
and IronDome solutions in the region's enterprise and public sector segments. 
This news comes on the heels of the announcement ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2672829-1&h=1451970669&u=https%3A%2F%2Fironnet.com%2Fnew%2Fironnet-cybersecurity-announces-growth-plans-in-emea%2F&a=announcement 
) of IronNet's new EMEA headquarters and team.

Demand for cybersecurity solutions in APJ is growing, amid increasing security 
incidents such as the SingHealth data breach of June, 2018, and heightened 
vigilance in anticipation of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan. Investment in 
solutions to combat this rising trend is also on the rise. According to 
Gartner(1), information security and risk management end-user spending in the 
enterprise infrastructure protection market in Asia/Pacific* is projected to 
reach $4.2 billion (in constant currency) in 2023, reflecting 9.3% CAGR. Even 
greater growth in spending is anticipated in the enterprise security services 
market. Gartner estimates that Asia/Pacific's* spending in this market is 
projected to reach $20.5 billion (in constant currency) in 2023, reflecting 
7.2% CAGR. (*Asia/Pacific is Emerging Asia/Pacific and Mature Asia/Pacific 
regions as well as Japan.)

"We see great promise in IronNet's ability to help secure organizations against 
cyber threats across the public and private sectors in the APJ region," said 
General (Ret.) Keith B. Alexander, IronNet Chairman and Co-CEO, former Director 
of the U.S. National Security Agency and Founding Commander of the U.S. Cyber 
Command. "Establishing our presence in Singapore, with an experienced leader 
like Gaurav Chhiber, will increase access to IronNet's advanced threat 
detection solutions and continue to scale the benefits of collective defense (

) across the region."  

Chhiber has two decades of sales and senior management experience in building 
and leading enterprise sales in the APJ region. Before joining IronNet, Chhiber 
worked at Micro Focus (earlier HP Enterprise) in various roles, including 
Director of Security Software, where he was responsible for overall business 
unit strategy and business development across APJ. Prior to that, he spent 13 
years at Verizon Enterprise, holding a range of leadership roles in Asia, 
during which he played an instrumental role in scaling the business in the 
region.

In his role as VP of Sales for APJ at IronNet, Chhiber will introduce IronNet's 
massively scalable Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) platform to the region. 
Leveraging advanced behavioral analysis, IronNet will bring a new level of 
cyber threat detection and empower customers with Iron Dome, a real-time, 
machine-speed threat sharing solution for collective defense.

"We are faced with ever-evolving nation state and advanced persistent cyber 
threats, which are growing in sophistication and potential impact," Chhiber 
said. "I'm excited to help IronNet drive the next stage of our growth by 
helping our customers to reduce risk, improve cyber maturity and be more 
effective in defending companies, sectors, and nations across the region."
