Dr. Chase Cunningham, a recipient of Security magazine's Most Influential People in Security, has joined Ericom as its Chief Strategy Officer. In this role, he will shape the company's strategic vision, roadmap and key partnerships. Dr. Cunningham previously served as vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, providing strategic guidance on Zero Trust, artificial intelligence, machine learning and security architecture design for security leaders around the globe.
Dr. Cunningham was initially introduced to Ericom in his role at Forrester, where he covered the company and its Zero Trust-related solutions. Regarding his decision to join Ericom, he commented, "The world changed in 2020 and more strategic solutions to enable a growing remote and dispersed workforce became absolutely essential. As a result, a focused Zero Trust strategy came to be the global standard. I’ve spent years analyzing the evolution in this space, and after seeing Ericom’s current technologies and previewing the ones it will introduce in 2021, I was convinced that this place had a real focus on the future for Zero Trust and it had the team I wanted to work with to continue to drive innovation and help businesses achieve a better Zero Trust end state."
