Jessie Coan and Duncan Mills join to take the helm of corporate marketing and product marketing, respectively, to increase market share and brand awareness

Egress, the leading provider of intelligent email security, has expanded its global marketing team with the appointment of Jessie Coan as Vice President of Corporate Marketing and Duncan Mills as Senior Director of Product Marketing. Coan and Mills are joining to support Egress’ rapid growth at a critical juncture in the cybersecurity industry as organizations continue to wrestle with security breaches and face the great resignation.

Understanding that the combination of technology, human resources and security awareness are needed to most effectively keep an organization safe from data breaches, Egress is poised for rapid growth in 2022. On the heels of nearly 75 percent of organizations suffering data breaches caused by phishing attacks, Egress saw its most successful year as global organizations have recognized the need for a human-layer approach to cybersecurity.
