"Chris is well respected throughout the security community for his efforts to educate, innovate and improve the state of the security industry. We're excited that Chris has chosen to put his experience to work to help CloudPassage continue driving forward innovation in cloud security," said Carson Sweet, co-founder and CEO of CloudPassage.

Brenton is an accomplished technical professional with experience directing the demands of complex projects, developing innovative systems, providing technical expertise and formulating strategies related to security and IT infrastructure. For more than a decade, Brenton has been a fellow instructor at the SANS Institute where he has served as primary author, presenter and trainer for the perimeter security track.

The CloudPassage Halo product line is at the vanguard of these changes, with its ability to secure public IaaS, private IaaS, standalone servers and even desktops, all from a single interface," said Brenton. "I am excited to be a part of such a cutting-edge endeavor."
