The additions include Werner Gartner, CFO, Joe Haar, vice president of sales and Hussein Amery, vice president of business development. The appointments, effective immediately, round out the company's executive team as it continues to add new customers, strategic partnerships and an expanding portfolio of new and enhanced security solutions.

"To follow through on our commitment to uncompromised security, Wedge Networks has established an executive team with strong, proven management experience that will be crucial as the company grows its place in the market. The new executives will provide us with in-depth experience and knowledge necessary for us to achieve our overall business goals."
