Bitdefender expands further into data centre and cloud security

The move is part of Bitdefender’s wider strategy to leverage its unique technologies to secure server and virtual desktop workloads running on software-defined, hyper-converged and cloud infrastructure. This heightened focus on the data center security market will drive explosive growth in a segment with tremendous potential.  

Michael Gable is a security industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience in sales leadership, strategic alliances, professional services and sales engineering. In this new role, he will focus on helping enterprises solve cloud-workload security challenges, developing strategic alliances with key ecosystem partners and growing Bitdefender’s channel network in the data center segment.

’’Bitdefender’s solutions leverage virtualization and cloud infrastructure to provide security which was not possible in the legacy data center world,” said Gable. “These security solutions are highly effective against today’s most sophisticated attacks and they’re invisible to the attackers. They are built from the ground up for the modern data center and cloud infrastructure, delivering award-winning next-generation security plus a host of unique benefits that let enterprises extract maximum value from their datacenter-transformation initiatives. I look forward to helping organizations solve their data center-security challenges.”

“We are delighted to welcome Mike as a key member of our global enterprise team,” said Bogdan Irina, Chief Operating Officer, Bitdefender. “He will play a key role in expanding our efforts in the data center and cloud space, bringing more than two decades of technology and cybersecurity sales-leadership experience.”
