Optiv Security has lost one of its top executives, as its Vice President of Cloud Security and Strategy JD Sherry left the security solution provider this month to take a position at privileged account management startup Remediant.
Sherry will now serve as chief revenue officer at Remediant, which offers a platform called SecureOne for visibility, just-in-time administration, and enforcement around privileged accounts. Sherry announced his transition on his LinkedIn profile.
Sherry confirmed his departure from Optiv and new position with CRN. He said he had been advising Remediant for the past 14 months and saw an opportunity to add value by joining the team. He said Remediant has already seen “good traction” with large customers, including Lockheed Martin.
