Network threat detection and response vendor Vectra AI has appointed former Arista ANZ country manager Tony Bauman as its new ANZ country manager. His remit in the role is to strengthen the company’s success across the region as the cybersecurity market grows. The company referenced the recent budget announcement’s callout of cybersecurity needs, adding that “businesses and governments in the ANZ region are coming under increased pressure to strengthen their security posture.” “Tony’s extensive experience in Enterprise, Government and Service Provider market segments and his ability to scale sales teams and build effective partnerships with the channel community will further strengthen the growing presence of Vectra in Australia and New Zealand,” said Vectra chief revenue officer Marc Gemassmer.
