Brian brings a strong understanding of sales, sales organisation management and network security.

• Bettina Koblick – Symantec’s former chief human resources officer joins ForeScout in the role of chief people officer. Bettina has an impressive resume, and a knack for spotting talent. She brings more than two decades of HR experience to the company­, largely gained in companies undergoing explosive growth.

• Jason Pishotti – ForeScout’s senior vice president of customer support and professional services brings over 20 years of high-tech customer support experience to ForeScout. He previously served as EMC subsidiary VCE’s vice president of customer support services.

This combination is critical to address the security risks associated with the Internet of Things (IoT), Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the lack of integration across cybersecurity products.
