Cybereason, an XDR company, announced the appointment of Hussam Sidani as Regional Vice President for the Middle East and Turkey. Sidani will be in charge of overseeing the company’s operations in the region and accelerating Cybereason’s customer and partner base in MEA, allowing Defenders to stop sophisticated cyberattacks. To best support the business, Sidani will hire the region’s top sales and engineering talent.
“The common theme with Hussam’s career is growing successful sales teams throughout the Middle East and Africa with a network of top sales leaders and a robust partner ecosystem. Hussam will play an instrumental role in further fueling Cybereason’s growth in Dubai and new countries throughout the region,” said Frank Koelmel, Cybereason, General Manager, EMEA.
“Today, legacy security solutions aren’t helping organizations combat ransomware attacks and other cyber threats. In fact, they exacerbate the problem — too many alerts that hide the true threats, and too many false positives that waste security teams’ time. A new approach is needed to help Defenders fight back. Cybereason’s AI-driven XDR platform paints a unified story of an attack for security analysts, helping them fight back and end attacks while predicting and preventing future threats,” said Sidani.
Sidani joins Cybereason with over 20 years of security experience, most recently leading sales for FireEye in the Gulf, Levant, and Africa. He previously led the Gulf region for Symantec for ten years, where he increased revenue by expanding channel partnerships and strategic selling initiatives.
Sidani will expand Cybereason’s products and services reach into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey with future channel partners, in addition to expanding Cybereason’s Dubai office.
