Quantum Secure Promotes Don Campbell to Vice President of Product

Experienced Executive to Continue to Drive Growth and Momentum of Company’s Industry-Leading PIAM Solution

Quantum Secure has promoted Don Campbell to Vice President, Product. Campbell had served as the Company’s Director of Product Management since 2014, playing a key role in driving the momentum of Quantum Secure’s Physical Security and Access Management (PIAM) software. 

“Don has been integral to building awareness of the value of PIAM within the industry and driving Quantum Secure’s rapid growth over the last two years,” said Ajay Jain, Quantum Secure’s President and CEO. “In his new role, Don will leverage his experience and track record of success to continue his work in expanding the widespread acceptance of our SAFE Predictive Security Software.”

Prior to joining Quantum Secure in 2014, Campbell pioneered some of the first PSIM products to arrive on the Market, first at VistaScape, sold to Siemens in 2006, and later at VidSys where he was Vice President of Product Management.  He began his career as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he led a 13-member team whose responsibilities included managing a 35-building network. Campbell earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Duke University and is one of three inventors of a patented method for surveillance system peering.

Campbell’s promotion follows Quantum Secure’s earlier announcement that 2015 was the best year in the company’s history, spurred by the introduction of new technologies, record sales levels, strong partnerships and significant growth in a number of key vertical markets. The biggest development for the company in 2015 was its acquisition by HID Global, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions. With its SAFE software managing more than 5.5 million identities worldwide, Quantum Secure is now the largest PIAM software vendor in the world.

“As a market leader and creator in the PIAM space, Quantum Secure is ideally positioned for continued growth, and for more than two years I have enjoyed being part of the overall value proposition of addressing corporate physical security risk and compliance initiatives,” Campbell said. “As Vice President, Product, I look forward to continuing to help drive growth of our SAFE software suite’s ability to provide tangible results and ROI for customers by effectively managing the lifecycle of physical identities and compliance across security infrastructure.”

It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
