Khudairi noted that the company has been a leader in the cyber market since its inception and has continually adapted its offerings.
“Appointing Thomas to deepen and extend our offering to technology businesses is the latest example of our philosophy in practice. The risk landscape for technology businesses is becoming more complex by the day. Threat actors are increasingly sophisticated, and AI is adding new weapons to their arsenals. Thomas is the ideal candidate to spearhead the expansion of our technology offering and I look forward to working with him,” Khudairi said.
