HUMAN Appoints Industry-Leading CRO and CISO to Accelerate Growth After Momentous Year

HUMAN Security, Inc the global leader in safeguarding enterprises from digital attacks with modern defense — today announced the appointment of Anuj Kumar as CRO and Gavin Reid as CISO. Reid will also lead the Human Collective, a partnership program made up of industry leaders dedicated to disrupting the economics of cybercrime through collaboration, information sharing and standard setting.

HUMAN has experienced a momentous 2022, kicking off the year with the announcement of a $100 million growth funding round led by WestCap and NightDragon; the summer merger with PerimeterX; the Scylla ad fraud scheme disruption in the fall; and most recently, the acquisition of anti-malvertising leader clean.io. These latest appointments will bolster HUMAN’s leadership team for a 2023 focused on accelerated growth, global expansion, product development and innovation, and continued success in disrupting the economics of cybercrime.

“While this is a challenging time for many tech companies, HUMAN continues to gain momentum given the industry need for a comprehensive Human Defense Platform to protect against digital attacks,” said HUMAN Co-founder and CEO Tamer Hassan. “As we build a company of consequence, it is imperative that our leaders possess diverse backgrounds, subject matter expertise and strategic know-how. Anuj and Gavin are those such leaders. I know they will deliver an outsized impact to our business as we expand and protect our customers across the globe.”
