Netacea, a bot detection and mitigation specialist, promoted Joe Murray, former Director of Sales and Marketing, to SVP of Partnerships.
Murray joined Netacea in 2019, building the company’s sales and marketing teams and delivering record growth in the process. He has more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry with roles at managed services and SaaS companies including BT, MDNX Group and Essensys.
In his new position, Murray is responsible for customer acquisition, growth and retention. He will oversee Netacea’s program as it evolves to address the need for advanced, agentless bot detection and management amid growing global threats in MSSPs’ offerings and in major technology platforms, including those that power e-commerce.
“Netacea’s growth has exploded over the past few years so this is a very exciting time for me to steer the partner program,” Murray said. “With the acceleration and scale of bot attacks globally, businesses realize how detrimental they can be to their success. Our partners need an AI-driven, agentless approach to effectively thwart bot attacks before they cause reputational harm and impact the customer experience. I’m excited to see what’s next for Netacea and looking forward to expanding the reach of our partner program.”
Netacea’s services are easy to integrate thanks to its agentless, server-side approach, which provides partners with same-day launch and upgrades. Adding Netacea’s bot mitigation services, along with a new offering to integrate intelligence on bot attacks to their product suite, allows MSSPs and technology partners to protect their businesses from all manner of bot attacks, including:
- Grinch bots that target e-commerce sites, buying up limited edition goods for resale on third-party sites.
- Credential stuffing attacks that use leaked passwords to take over accounts, especially streaming media accounts.
- Sniper bots that make last-second bids on auction sites.
- Scraper bots that republish content elsewhere, stealing clicks and damaging SEO.
- Netacea’s bot management offering is also available as a white-label solution that can be fully integrated into customers’ security infrastructure, portals and dashboards.
