PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Acceptto, the
leading provider of Continuous Behavioral Authentication, today
announced the appointment of Jim Kaskade to its Board of Directors.
Kaskade is an experienced leader and has managed all facets of the
new product development process from product concept to
discontinuation. As a board member, Kaskade offers his expertise
for future growth and direction of the organization to position
itself as a market leader in passwordless solutions for the
enterprise.
Over the past 30 years, Kaskade's experience in both early and
later stage company environments gives him a unique perspective of
running high-growth businesses at any scale. Kaskade was recently
announced as CEO of Conversica. Prior, he led Janrain -- the
category creator and global leader of Consumer Identity &
Access Management (CIAM) -- as CEO. Janrain became the global
leader in CIAM under Kaskade's leadership in 2018 and was later
acquired by Akamai Technologies in early 2019.
"Data breaches are at an all-time high and as cybercriminals
continue to get aggressive, multifactor authentication is not
enough to keep enterprises and their consumers safe. Acceptto takes
cybersecurity to the next-level by recognizing the only
authentication that can't be duplicated is what we call
biobehavioral identity," said Jim Kaskade. "My experience in CIAM
aligns with Acceptto's mission to detect and protect against
identity fraud. I'm excited to propel the shift from multifactor
authentication to Continuous Behavioral Authentication."
Prior to Janrain, Kaskade was the Vice President &
General Manager of Digital Applications at CSC (now DXC). This line
of business generated more than $1B
in commercial revenue, including both consulting and delivery
organizations focused on serving Global 1000 companies in
the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru,
Chile, Argentina, and Brazil; with technologies from partners
including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Salesforce, Workday, and
ServiceNow. Prior, Kaskade was the VP & GM of Big Data &
Analytics at CSC. In this role, Kaskade created the fastest growing
business at CSC (from 0% to more than 50% year-over-year growth in
revenue in only 1 year), overseeing the development and
implementation of innovative offerings that help clients convert
data into revenue.
"I am thrilled to welcome Jim to our board of directors as he is
a passionate and experienced executive. Jim's experience leading a
successful CIAM company gives us the additional guidance needed to
drive home our message that today's reliance on weak controls such
as passwords and multifactor authentication must be eliminated,"
said Shahrokh Shahidzadeh, CEO,
Acceptto. "Jim's multidimensional leadership will help us move from
startup to powerhouse, driving growth in the identity access
management market."
Kaskade has focused on advanced analytics technologies starting
in 1996 when he was responsible for business intelligence and data
mining product management at Teradata.
Kaskade will contribute directly to Acceptto's strategy and
operational excellence, helping the company continue to expand upon
its global go-to-market strategy, delivering the industry's first
solution providing technology to develop an innovative, patented
Biobehavioral™ authentication platform that continuously monitors
and manages access to cyber resources. For more information on
