Area 1 Security has appointed Steve Pataky as chief revenue officer.
Pataky will helm all of Area 1’s global sales efforts as well as expanded partnership initiatives to scale and accelerate sales opportunities with VARs and solution providers, distributors, MSSPs, consultants, and technology alliances.
Pataky most recently led partner sales as an advisor for Ubiq Security, and previously served as chief revenue officer for SonicWall (and before that, VP of worldwide channels and alliances at FireEye). He brings to Area 1 a standout track record of building robust partner ecosystems and generating explosive growth for industry-leading cybersecurity companies. His broad experience also includes key global channel sales and development roles with NetScreen, Juniper Networks, Vertical Networks and 3Com.
Area 1’s two-tiered channel program enables partners to offer their customers a proven best-of-breed anti-phishing approach that eclipses conventional email security in every aspect. Area 1’s mission-critical, seamless deployment, deep insight, and quick triage enable organizations to preemptively detect, intercept, and disable phishing attacks before arrival, and to prevent financial damages due to BEC fraud.
