“I am thrilled that Simon has joined Cybereason. He will be building out our entire sales team, managing local sales, sales engineering and support. The demand for our award-winning detection and response platform is driving growth across the world. The EMEA traction Cybereason already has in place is a strong indication of future growth. Simply, Cybereason is the only endpoint vendor that can tell organizations that they are under attack immediately and then help them stop it in real time,” said Jeff Lebowitz, executive vice president of global sales and business development, Cybereason.

“The Cybereason platform is a sales executive’s dream because its value proposition is so powerful,” said Sharp. “It enables our customers to know, with certainty, if they are under attack and if so, how to best contain it. We empower our customers to do their jobs with clarity and confidence, hence our phenomenal growth. EMEA is the next natural progression for us and I am delighted to spearhead our efforts here.”
