Dozens of leading organizations, including 10 for the Fortune 100, now deploy the company’s solution. The company also announced the appointment of two industry veterans to its management team: Jesse Sun as Vice President of Sales, and Stephen Ward as Vice President of Marketing. RiskLens closed the 2017 calendar with more than 60% year-over-year growth in recurring revenue, expanded its reach to more than a dozen industry verticals, and continued its dominance as the partner of choice for Fortune 500 organizations. The biggest brands in the world deploy the RiskLens platform to quantify, mitigate and manage cybersecurity risk. RiskLens clients span the Fortune 500, with industry leaders in Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare, Technology, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, and Consumer Packaged Goods relying on the company’s innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. “Pressure continues to mount across all industries to solve a decades long problem that has produced many of the cybersecurity issues we are confronted with today,” said Nick Sanna, Chief Executive Officer at RiskLens. “Cyber risk must be translated into the language of business and economics. Thus far we have failed to do this, and as a result, strategic and tactical decisions have been made without understanding the bottom line impact. RiskLens is the market leader in cyber risk quantification, bringing the dark ages of cybersecurity decision making to a close. We are witnessing a massive increase in interest from all corners of the globe and have embarked on an aggressive growth strategy to ensure we can help organizations change forever the way in which they look at and manage cybersecurity challenges. With the appointments of Jesse and Stephen, we have rounded out our management team and put the company on an accelerated trajectory to fulfill our mission.” Sun, whose career spans more than 14 years in software sales, most recently served as Vice President of Sales & Business Development for Natural Insight, where he was responsible for sales, marketing, business development, partner strategy and client retention. Prior to Natural Insight, Jesse served as Vice President of Sales for Parature, where he was among the first 15 employees and instrumental in the company's year-over-year growth and eventual acquisition by Microsoft. During his time at Microsoft, Sun led the international expansion of Parature's products into the EMEA and APAC regions, and helped develop training programs for Microsoft's strategic global partners. He also served as an Advisor to Encore Alerts, which was acquired by Meltwater in 2016. About RiskLens RiskLens is the leading provider of cyber risk quantification solutions.
