I look forward to working with the talented Seclore team to advance our product engineering capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our customers."

The announcement also coincides with Seclore’s significant expansion, both globally and within India, including the hiring for technical positions in the newly opened Pune office. This strategic growth aligns with the company's broader momentum, marked by achieving several accolades such as the Great Places to Work Award for the fifth consecutive year and the Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Awards. The company’s partner program also received a five-star rating from CRN, and there was a recent appointment of a new Chief Product Officer.
