Jan Manning joins the Hexis team after having served as CIO for SafeNet-Gemalto, where she was responsible for defining and implementing corporate application and infrastructure standards across the company’s entire technology footprint. A security industry veteran, Manning will drive Hexis overall IT strategy, IT based services and ensure the company is well-positioned for expansion.

I am thrilled to be part of the team that will help drive the company forward, focusing on enhancing our internal infrastructure and processes to allow us to take advantage of new opportunities and serve a growing customer base.”

Hexis is equally pleased to announce that its former Senior Director of Product Management, Chris Carlson, has been promoted to Vice President of Product Management, HawkEye G. Having joined the Hexis team in September of 2014, Carlson’s talents as a security expert were exemplified by his leadership in the recent launch of HawkEye G 3.0, the company’s flagship solution. Carlson played a major role in the development of HawkEye G’s new ThreatSync™ capability for evidence-based detection and verification of unknown and known threats, and integration with popular third-party security technologies for increased threat intelligence.
