Executive Quote:
Amit Yoran, President, RSA,
Executive Vice President, EMC
"The security industry's approach to address the threats that
organizations face today have failed spectacularly.
Traditional security protective measures are inadequate at stopping
advanced threats and RSA is leading the way in changing security
paradigms. Niloo's appointment as our Chief Strategy Officer
will serve to accelerate that transformation. Having known
Niloo and her work for years, I am thrilled to be able to add her
to our leadership team and have her insight and expertise help
guide and deliver on our vision."
Niloofar Razi Howe, Chief
Strategy Officer, RSA
"Given the dramatic rate of technology changes and rapidly
evolving cyber threats, the security market will require radical
transformation to meet customer needs. RSA is in a strong
position to lead this transformation and I am excited to leverage
my experience in the industry to support RSA's mission."
