JOSEPH DHANAPAL
CEO
SECUREAUTH
WHY: Took over last year as CEO of SecureAuth, which specializes in identity and access management solutions. Prior to joining SecureAuth, has worked in executive roles at Ping Identity, TeleTech, CenturyLink, Qwest and US West. Says artificial intelligence has added a whole new dimension to cyber threats.
IN THE NEWS: SecureAuth recognized as a leader in the 2024 KuppingerCole Analysts AG “Leadership Compass report for CIAM.”
NOTABLE: SecureAuth’s systems “look at a holistic set of signals which continues to evolve and increase every day to make sure we can have a high level of assurance that it is the person who they claim to be.”
IN THE NEWS: Year ago, acquired SessionGuardian to provide biometric continuous identity assurance technology. With this technology, SecureAuth says can protect sensitive data for a user’s entire session.
QUOTABLE: “Not having biometric continuous identity assurance after the initial login authentication creates a critical vulnerability. The rest of the session remains unprotected, leaving organizations exposed to unauthorized access and malicious actions. Our new offering is an innovative solution to this problem.”
