CYREN Names Atif Ahmed as Vice President of EMEA Sales

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ: CYRN) today announced the appointment of Atif Ahmed as vice president of sales for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Based in the UK, Ahmed's responsibilities include overseeing the region's sales, services, strategic channels and alliances, as well as driving additional business in new EMEA territories.

With more than 20 years of experience in the security space, Ahmed most recently served in senior sales leadership positions at AppSense, Websense and Check Point Software. He also previously held sales management roles in the security business unit at Azlan and at Acer UK.

"I'm excited to join CYREN at such a pivotal time, as businesses are really struggling to protect their users and data from cybercriminals in today's mobile and cloud-centric world," Ahmed said. "CYREN's SaaS web and email security products are poised to dramatically disrupt the failed appliance-based approach to security. With the company's expanded commitment to the region, we aim to be a pure-play channel organization that provides partners with unmatched tools, support and ongoing investment."

"Atif brings an established record of sales success and security expertise that will further strengthen our sales leadership team throughout Europe," said Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at CYREN.
