(firmenpresse) - PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 10/25/11 -- Tripwire, Inc., a leading global provider of IT security and compliance solutions, has appointed Dwayne Melançon to the role of Chief Technology Officer, where he will play a critical role in driving and evangelizing the company's global overall product strategy. He brings over 25 years of security software experience, and will be responsible for leading the company's long term product strategy to meet the evolving data security needs of global enterprises.
Melançon joined Tripwire in 2000 and most recently served as Vice President of Products for Tripwire. He has spearheaded numerous initiatives during his tenure, including executive responsibility for business development, professional services and support, information systems and marketing. Prior to joining Tripwire, Melançon held leadership roles at DirectWeb, Inc., Symantec Corporation and Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. He is certified on both IT management and audit processes, holding both ITIL and CISA certifications, and is a frequent speaker at national and regional industry events.
"Organizations today are faced with an increasing number of threats to their critical data, and the 'old school' approach to security is not sufficient due to its focus on lagging indicators," said Melançon. "I am driving a 'new school' approach that focuses on leading indicators so organizations can proactively prevent security incident and breaches, and stay focused on their own businesses.
"As CTO, I am keenly focused on driving the continued growth and development of Tripwire's product portfolio to meet our customers' needs as they strive to connect IT security and compliance value with achieving their key business objectives," said Melançon.
With a strong record of year-over-year growth, Tripwire has hired and promoted talent from within to lead the company in driving key organizational and innovation strategies and ensure momentum in the compliance and security space. Melançon's appointment to CTO will continue Tripwire's commitment to delivering solutions that address the security needs of an increasingly complex and sophisticated threat environment.
