To meet this demand, build scale and market reach in the business, we decided to bring in a leader with a proven track record who could ensure the success of Anomali and its customers," said Anomali chief revenue officer Mark Boullie.

"We're excited to welcome Stree into the fold. His leadership will push us to grow at a record pace while helping customers to achieve their security and business goals."

"The Asia Pacific and Japan region is inundated with cyberattacks. Businesses there are keenly aware of how damaging threats like Olympic Destroyer can be and know that APTs, backed by hostile nations such as North Korea, are always looking for ways to penetrate networks," said Naidu.

"I'm excited to be with a company known for delivering proven capabilities that are reducing customers' risk of falling victim to attackers that are focused on this part of the world."
