The transition takes place at a time when Palo Alto Networks is well-positioned to help customers embark on a network transformation journey and consolidate their security infrastructures.
"The previous nine years were among the most satisfying of my working career. I was a part of this company's extraordinary growth story, which saw it go from a startup with little visibility to a global cybersecurity leader. Unni pondered. "I am excited to take on this role as we extend our global impact and influence. My goal is to continue building on our goal of becoming the go-to cybersecurity partner by providing the most comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio.
I'm really excited to join the JAPAC leadership team and begin the next step of our growing adventure. Many of our clients' ideals are perfectly linked with those of digital environment protection. According to Lisa Sim, it is a rewarding position to protect organizations while also making a social effect through our education programs.
