Netskope, the leading cloud access security broker (CASB), today announced the appointment of Tony Burnside as Regional Sales Director, Asia Pacific, effective immediately. Burnside will be responsible for the company’s sales strategy, operations and channel partner relationships for the region.
Burnside is a seasoned enterprise sales and channel executive with more than 25 years of experience in enterprise technology. Having lived and worked in three continents – Europe, North America and Australia – he has helped many early stage companies grow from initial product shipment to significant revenues across the globe, including Aruba Networks and Juniper Networks. He takes the reins of Netskope’s APAC operations after serving as Regional Sales Manager for the New England region of the United States.
“I’m delighted to help accelerate Netskope’s considerable worldwide momentum,” said Burnside. “As enterprises continue to adopt cloud apps to enable employee productivity and realize cost savings, the need for a security solution to govern usage and protect corporate data is large. I look forward to working with our network of channel partners in the region to drive adoption of Netskope’s cloud access security broker.”
Netskope gives IT the ability to find, understand, and secure cloud apps. The Netskope Active Platform empowers organizations to direct usage, protect sensitive data, defend against threats, and ensure compliance in real-time, on any device, for any cloud app, regardless of whether a user is accessing an app remotely or from a mobile device.
