SINGAPORE, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Cybersecurity veteran, Sumit Bansal, appointed as vice president Asia Pacific

and Japan

BlueVoyant ( http://www.bluevoyant.com/ ), an industry-leading internal and

external cyber defense platform, today announced expanded portfolio operations

of cybersecurity services in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). In addition,

BlueVoyant announced the appointment of Sumit Bansal as vice president APJ.

BlueVoyant is adding Singapore as a regional headquarters and will be expanding

its local team to focus on specifically-designed services. This includes

Third-Party Cyber Risk Management, which helps protect against, and remediate,

threats in the supply chain or the vendors they are connected to. Along with

other services, BlueVoyant will also offer its Managed Detection and Response

(MDR) capabilities that give customers the ability to control their own data in

the Microsoft or Splunk cloud environments.

Bansal brings to BlueVoyant more than 30 years of cybersecurity and network

technology experience in APJ. He has led hypergrowth and rapid market

expansion, including time at Nokia, RSA, and Symantec. He most recently served

as managing director, South East Asia and Korea, at cybersecurity company

Sophos.

"We are excited to bring our end-to-end cybersecurity portfolio to more

organizations in APJ to keep them one step ahead of the increasingly

sophisticated cyber threats they face," said Paul "PK" Kleinschnitz, chief

commercial officer at BlueVoyant. "Our expanded presence in APJ will provide

local organizations the tools they need to protect their digital ecosystem

inside and out. Sumit has the right experience to lead our newly expanded team

and give APJ organizations the robust support they deserve."

The new Singapore regional headquarters join BlueVoyant's existing regional

headquarters in the Philippines. The company has significant partnerships with

key businesses and industries in the Philippines. BlueVoyant also has an

existing presence and key partnership with Telstra

(https://www.bluevoyant.com/news/bluevoyant-partners-with-telstra-to-launch-cyber-detection-and-response-endpoint-in-australia-and-new-zealand/) in Australia and New Zealand.

"I am excited about the opportunity to bring third-party cyber risk protection

to organizations in APJ, as many big breaches have come from connections to

organizations' vendors and their networks," said Bansal. "The external

ecosystem is often an organization's weak link and BlueVoyant is especially

able to detect and mitigate these risks. BlueVoyant also brings

industry-leading, cloud-based internal defense with 24/7 detection and

response, among other best-in-class services."

BlueVoyant recently announced the close of its $250-million Series D (https://www.bluevoyant.com/news/bluevoyant-raises-250-million-series-d-led-by-liberty-strategic-capital/), led by Liberty Strategic Capital, a private equity firm founded and

participation from new investors as well as existing investors. The company
