When founding Verodin, Chris set out to introduce a new era of effectiveness, validation, and transparency to the cyber security industry - one that’s rooted in evidence and overcoming assumptions. The result is Verodin Security Instrumentation Platform (SIP), a security effectiveness platform that provides people the information needed to know if their security is working every day. His over 20 years of strategic and technical experience across cybersecurity, network engineering and software design has informed this latest venture. Previously, Chris was Chief Architect of Network Products at ArcSight (HP), a global leader in cybersecurity software solutions, where he continued to develop the incident response and network automation product line that was acquired from ENIRA Technologies, a company he founded in 2003.
