- Cybersecurity veteran, Sumit Bansal, appointed as vice president Asia Pacific 
and Japan 

BlueVoyant ( http://www.bluevoyant.com/ ), an industry-leading internal and 
external cyber defense platform, today announced expanded portfolio operations 
of cybersecurity services in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). In addition, 
BlueVoyant announced the appointment of Sumit Bansal as vice president APJ.

BlueVoyant is adding Singapore as a regional headquarters and will be expanding 
its local team to focus on specifically-designed services. This includes 
Third-Party Cyber Risk Management, which helps protect against, and remediate, 
threats in the supply chain or the vendors they are connected to. Along with 
other services, BlueVoyant will also offer its Managed Detection and Response 
(MDR) capabilities that give customers the ability to control their own data in 
the Microsoft or Splunk cloud environments.

Bansal brings to BlueVoyant more than 30 years of cybersecurity and network 
technology experience in APJ. He has led hypergrowth and rapid market 
expansion, including time at Nokia, RSA, and Symantec. He most recently served 
as managing director, South East Asia and Korea, at cybersecurity company 
Sophos.

"We are excited to bring our end-to-end cybersecurity portfolio to more 
organizations in APJ to keep them one step ahead of the increasingly 
sophisticated cyber threats they face," said Paul "PK" Kleinschnitz, chief 
commercial officer at BlueVoyant. "Our expanded presence in APJ will provide 
local organizations the tools they need to protect their digital ecosystem 
inside and out. Sumit has the right experience to lead our newly expanded team 
and give APJ organizations the robust support they deserve."

The new Singapore regional headquarters join BlueVoyant's existing regional 
headquarters in the Philippines. The company has significant partnerships with 
key businesses and industries in the Philippines. BlueVoyant also has an 
existing presence and key partnership with Telstra (

) in Australia and New Zealand.

"I am excited about the opportunity to bring third-party cyber risk protection 
to organizations in APJ, as many big breaches have come from connections to 
organizations' vendors and their networks," said Bansal. "The external 
ecosystem is often an organization's weak link and BlueVoyant is especially 
able to detect and mitigate these risks. BlueVoyant also brings 
industry-leading, cloud-based internal defense with 24/7 detection and 
response, among other best-in-class services."

BlueVoyant recently announced the close of its $250-million Series D (

participation from new investors as well as existing investors. The company 
also recently announced that CRN(R), a brand of The Channel Company, has named
