We are thrilled to announce that David McLeod, a seasoned executive and Chief Information Security Officer for organizations such as Cox Enterprises and Walt Disney Studios, has joined ThreatX’s Board of Advisors. McLeod’s innovative approach and extensive industry experience will help drive ThreatX’s mission to change the way APIs & applications are built, secured, and operated. His deep understanding of cybersecurity and strategic insights will be crucial as we continue to advance our API and application security solutions.
McLeod describes his introduction to ThreatX as, “A refreshing revelation, teams will not be burdened to improve three different capabilities using eight different tools requiring a team of ten. I can plug this in and help my security guys work better together with development teams and others who have a responsibility to defend.” This highlights ThreatX’s ability to revolutionize cybersecurity efforts, making them more efficient and collaborative while providing protection against volatile threats.
McLeod has praised several key strengths of ThreatX:
- Transforming Security and Development Collaboration: ThreatX fosters a cooperative environment, enabling application security personnel and application owners to work more effectively. “The ThreatX platform offers so much promise because it changes ways of working, helping the app security guy have the protection he needs while devs figure out code and fixes for it.”
- Protection and Remediations: ThreatX provides protection measures to mitigate risk as well as insights to help develop permanent fixes, easing the stress on security teams and development to remediate vulnerable APIs.
- Enhanced Threat Detection and Response: Leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, ThreatX ensures real-time threat detection and automated response actions.
- Cost Efficiency and Simplification: By reducing the need for multiple security tools, ThreatX simplifies management and cuts costs. “It smashes the technology stack. From a technology perspective, I no longer needed to consider which three other platforms need to be woven together with six other engineers to get work done.”
Through these capabilities, ThreatX transforms an organization’s approach to application security for security and development teams. McLeod’s insights will further enhance our ability to make API & application security efforts more impactful.
Looking Forward with ThreatX
David McLeod’s experience and forward-thinking approach make him a valuable addition to ThreatX’s Technical Advisory Board. His enthusiasm for joining ThreatX is clear, “I am thrilled to join ThreatX and look forward to contributing to their groundbreaking work in cybersecurity.” As ThreatX continues to refine its platform, we look forward to McLeod’s leadership and contributions that will shape the future of ThreatX with his guidance.
