Rubrik has appointed Richard Cassidy as EMEA Field CISO. As Field CISO, Cassidy will focus on further developing EMEA strategy and execution and supporting customers with cyber resilience. 

Cassidy joins the company from Securonix, where he was VP of global technology. As an advisor to many sectors, Cassidy has spent his 22-year career developing a deep understanding of all aspects of security, including SecOps, threat hunting and forensics, incident response, managed services, networking and cloud.

“Running breach and threat hunting investigations in the UK & Europe has set me up well for a CISO position, where I’ve been involved with organisations across industry verticals such as finance, military, central and national government and automotive,” said Cassidy. “I’m passionate about demystifying the complexities of cyber security and how this translates into building viable security ecosystems that stand the test of time. I am really excited to continue this work with Rubrik.”

Richard’s appointment comes as Rubrik recently launched the industry’s first advanced user intelligence on Rubrik Security Cloud, leveraging Rubrik’s Time Series Data and Metadata architecture to proactively fight cyber crime and reduce data risks. 

“Richard joins Rubrik at a very exciting time for the company following the recent launches of our advanced user intelligence and double extortion ransomware solutions,” said James Hughes, VP of Solutions Engineering, EMEA at Rubrik. “Richard’s experience across the channel, sales, product development and engineering will be invaluable as we continue to prioritise a zero trust strategy and commitment to customers.”
