"Security requires focus and vision," said Lewandowski. "As bad actors become more creative and networks become more sophisticated, effective defenses must meet unprecedented levels of technical innovation and ingenuity. No one knows this more, or is better equipped to handle the task, than Jody. His leadership has made this company what it is, and his dedication to the business is what will help us take this company to the next level. I'm humbled by the opportunity and thankful for the confidence Jody has expressed by choosing me to assume the leadership position of this great company."
