Faisal Shaikh Joins Globesecure Technologies As Sales Director

Start-up channel company GlobeSecure Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (GST), specialized in cyber security solution & services has recently appointed Faisal Shaikh as Sales Director.

Faisal joins the company from Blue Coat Systems (now Symantec) where he most recently served as Regional Sales Manager. Prior to Blue Coat, Faisal held numerous strategic sales roles at Novell & Hewlett-Packard. Faisal played a key role at Blue Coat, Novell & HP in business expansion by acquiring new logos.

Saravanan Narayanasamy, Director, GlobeSecure Technologies, said, “Faisal brings value and experience on business by understanding SI and OEM culture. We strongly believe it will help us grow multifold by next financial year. We will concentrate on niche solutions and create unique identity and expertise”.

“Traditionally, cyber security at enterprises has been more of compliance rather defense. Moving forward in 2017 the focus will be on more on protection/defense.” Faisal told a leading channel portal.

A seasoned professional with over 11 years of experience in the field of sales, channel business development and major market expansion, Shaikh has also helped companies of all sizes and from across the country to defend their enterprise network from cyber threats.

“In 2016 we have seen so many ransomware, DDoS & targeted attacks than ever & the trend will continue to grow in 2017. And with the increase in adoption & dependency on cloud, mobility, IoT the threat landscape is even bigger.”

“For many years cyber security has been a reactive approach for enterprises. With the growth in threats landscape mentioned earlier, CXO’s have now been pushed focus on building next generation security operations centers (NGSOC’s) where they need to integrate multiple technologies & with the scarcity of skilled resources this won’t be an easy task. So, as a niche player in the enterprise network & security space we at GST would like help enterprises address security gaps at network, endpoint & applications (either on premise or cloud) level.

“By partnering with few leading network & security vendors in space of EDR, Deception, CASB, NGFW, DDoS, Web Gateways, etc. We will continue to evolve & prepare ourselves by partnering with newer niche technologies to combat the growing threat landscape,” he added.

In his new role Faisal will identify newer trends in cyber security space and partner with the vendors in that space and develop a network security architecture framework which will be perceived by customer as a true value add & a differentiator.
