Cameron Pforr, CFO of IronNet, appointed
President
IronNet’s Board of Directors has appointed Linda Zecher as Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) effective immediately. Cameron Pforr, the
company’s current Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has been appointed
President of IronNet. GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander will continue to
serve as Chairman of the Board, transitioning to a non-executive
role. John O’Hara has been appointed to Senior Vice President of
Corporate Development and Partnerships reporting to the CEO. These
changes are consistent with the Take Private Letter Agreement
between IronNet, Inc. and a joint venture formed by C5 Capital and
Cohen Circle, initially signed on June 16, 2023 and executed and
delivered on July 11, 2023.
Linda brings significant experience shaping successful business
transformations. She currently serves as Chairman of C5 Capital,
Director of the Board of Hasbro and as a Board Member of Tenable, a
cloud-based cybersecurity platform. Linda formerly served as
President, CEO and Director of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, a global
education and learning company. Previously Linda was Corporate Vice
President of Microsoft’s Worldwide Public Sector organization.
“I am thrilled to welcome Linda Zecher to the company, who
assumes the role of CEO of IronNet. Linda is an exceptional leader
with a background in cybersecurity and other industries who will
help us drive IronNet’s Collective Defense Platform forward and
allow us to continue to protect governments, sectors and companies
against the cybercriminals and nation-state adversaries who are
taking advantage of a legacy siloed approach to cyberdefense," said
GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander, Founder, Chairman and former CEO of
IronNet.
Linda Zecher commented, “I look forward to collaborating with
this talented team at IronNet to drive sustainable growth and value
creation in the company, and to deliver for our customers.”
Cameron Pforr, in his role as President and CFO of IronNet,
brings a wealth of financial and operational experience to the
firm. He joined IronNet in August 2022 to assist with a strategic
restructuring and strengthening of the capital structure of the
company. Prior to IronNet, Cameron served as CFO and later as
President of Fidelis Cybersecurity, a leading NDR provider to the
federal and enterprise space. His prior work experience includes
over ten years as a senior investment banker at Deutsche Bank Alex
Brown, Revolution Partners, and Bain & Company where he was a
founding member of the software practice.
John O’Hara, current Vice President of Corporate Development and
Partnerships, will become Senior Vice President of Corporate
Development and Partnerships and take on expanded responsibilities
working closely with the engineering team to expand capabilities in
support of our customer base.
The IronNet Collective Defense Platform has enabled the
company to achieve a global footprint with a legacy of protecting
critical infrastructure. The platform is built on IronNet’s
IronDefense®, an advanced network detection and response
(NDR) solution that uses artificial intelligence and machine
learning to increase the visibility of the threat landscape while
improving detection efficacy in a network environment through
automated correlations-based detections.
IronDefense combines with IronNet’s IronDome®, the
first automated cyber solution delivering anonymized threat
intelligence collaboration at machine speed, to create the platform
which serves as an early warning system for all participating
companies, organizations, and governments to enable their SOC teams
to be more efficient and effective with existing cyber defense
tools and analyst capacity. In the past year, IronNet updated its
platform to further improve alert fidelity and analyst workflow by
enhancing embedded risk scoring for easier alert prioritization.
These enhancements result in significantly reduced alert loads and
false positives, as well as shortened mean time to
investigation.
IronNet’s IronRadarSM, an easy-to-install solution
for companies of all sizes that is designed to proactively and
automatically update customer cybersecurity tools to detect and
block adversary command and control (C2) infrastructure as it is
being set up, was recently introduced. IronRadar integrates
seamlessly with the IronNet Collective Defense Platform to create a
suite of solutions that provide actionable, timely, and relevant
cyber-attack intelligence earlier in an intrusion before a threat
has a significant impact.
