Alongside the funding, Cybereason said that Eric Gan will serve as the company’s new CEO, subject to confirmation by the firm’s board and pending customary regulatory approvals.
Eric Gan has a long history with Cybereason, starting with SoftBank Corp.’s initial investment in Cybereason in 2015.
Prior to SoftBank, Gan co-founded eAccess, a telecommunications company. Gan later became an Executive Vice President of SoftBank, where he led its Business Development Unit, which formed alliances with overseas companies. Before eAccess, Gan was an analyst and managing director for Goldman Sachs.
Gan commented, “I have watched Cybereason grow from its earliest stages to a leader in the cyber industry as evidenced by its recent position as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for EPP and its record-breaking MITRE ATT&CK results. I look forward to supporting Cybereason’s next stage of global growth and scale.
