imgCommvault ®, an enterprise data protection leader for today’s global businesses, announced the appointment of  expert security leader Alex Janas who has joined the company as its new Field Chief Technology Officer overseeing security.

“The line between IT operations and security operations is blurring, creating an IT collision of new vulnerabilities that enterprises need to properly control,” said Rahul Pawar, CTO, Global Services and Solutions, Commvault.

With Janas ’ appointment, Commvault is doubling down on its commitment to  review data protection and deliver cyber adaptability with assistance- leading  trouble discovery and  rapid-fire recovery capabilities.

"The rapidly evolving threat landscape forces defenders to react and respond on their adversaries’ timetable and magnitude," said Janas.

“Alex’s experience going head-to-head with the toughest cyber threats out there gives us the invaluable insight to develop an offensive security posture and help keep our customers safe from these ongoing, pervasive autonomous threats”, Pawar added.

Janas comes to Commvault with nearly two decades of private sector cybersecurity experience, including offensive security skills which he developed as an Critic, Operator, and Technical Director while working at the National Security Agency.

"To effectively challenge this asymmetry, we need to create strategies that increase the operational risks and costs for attackers and minimize the fallout for victims, while also scaling and keeping pace with an attacker’s adaptations”, Janas continued.

“Being a part of Commvault allows me to apply my offensive cybersecurity experience to enhance a product that is a pivotal layer in a company’s overarching cybersecurity strategy”, Janas added.

 

He is also known for his philanthropic work of the Master Operator designation, which is a highly esteemed honor accredited to chosen cadre of Computer Network Operations( CNO) personnel.

His career stands as a testament to his deep expertise,  unvarying commitment to  public security, and protection of the private sector while leading and mentoring other experts in the continually evolving field of cybersecurity.
