“David brings substantial industry experience, having worked with global financial organizations, and will provide valuable expertise to not only our customers across Asia Pacific, but the entire Netskope team,” said Tony Burnside, APAC regional director. “As one of the fastest growing regions for Netskope, David could not be joining the APAC team at a more optimal time, when cloud applications and cloud security are so very relevant. We are absolutely delighted to have David join us, as his knowledge, dynamism and cultural fit are seamlessly aligned with Netskope.”

 

“My primary goal has always been to make the internet a safe place to transact,” said Fairman. “After a long career in security and specialization in fraud-detection technologies, I’m excited to turn my focus to driving collaboration and innovation across the industry to address digital risk threats and improve cyber resiliency and literacy in the global community.”
