Websense has appointed a new head of its Asia Pacific sales operation with responsibility for building business in the region.

The web and email solutions vendor has appointed IT veteran, Alison Higgins-Miller, as vice president for Asia Pacific Sales.  Higgins-Miller joins Websense after more than 10 years management experience in the industry, most recently in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector, including as managing director at Acelarus, a full-service partnership for complementary SaaS vendors.

Prior to Acelarus, Higgins-Miller was vice president of Asia Pacific for RightNow Technologies, and previously held senior executive roles with Enterasys network management subsidiary, Aprisma, Oracle and several Australian IT companies.

Commenting on her appointment, Higgins-Miller said "Websense has a very unique, compelling value proposition that provides unprecedented visibility into the internal and external movement of information in the Web 2.0 world. The threat landscape is changing rapidly and I am delighted to be joining the company at this exciting time in the industry.”
