The Cybersecurity and compliance markets are two of the most rapidly evolving sectors in the IT industry. The growing number of data breaches creates a need for products that help companies be more vigilant and protect their IT environments from attacks. Netwrix is on the path to becoming a global leader in its markets, and I am very grateful to Michael, Alex and board members for this opportunity to undertake this exciting journey and participate in further development of Netwrix’s outstanding visibility platform.
