These days, when it comes to cyberattacks, it’s not a matter of if but when, and I look forward to working with enterprises to advance their cyber readiness and preparedness.”
Commvault calls Russell a seasoned cybersecurity veteran with a proven track record of helping organisations and governments across Asia-Pacific define and manage their cyber risk postures.
