"Stuart brings us the best of both worlds – he has led marketing at fast-growing startups like ours, and at large established companies," said ThreatTrack Security President and CEO Julian Waits, Sr. "With the recent launch of ThreatSecure, we are setting a new standard in threat prevention that combines best-in-class advanced threat detection with powerful automated remediation. The next few quarters will be filled with additional product roll-outs and enhancements that will redefine how enterprises defend themselves from today's sophisticated threats.

It's clear that something has to be done, and I believe ThreatTrack Security is in a position to help large enterprises combat the advanced threats they face on a daily basis," said Itkin. "The prevention market needs innovative, nimble companies with a proven history and pedigree to match, and that's what we have here. It's time to turn the tide against purveyors of data breaches, and I look forward to working alongside Julian and the rest of the management team to roll out new solutions to these difficult, very real and critical challenges."
