Ericom Software Names Former Symantec Executive David Canellos as Chief Executive Officer

Ericom Software, a global leader in securing and connecting the digital
workspace, today announced that technology industry veteran David
Canellos has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Canellos most recently held the position of Senior Vice President,
Global Service Providers at Symantec. In his nearly 25-years in the
industry, Canellos has led several cybersecurity ventures to impressive
market growth and successful exits. As President and CEO, he guided
Perspecsys Inc. through its acquisition by Blue Coat Systems, which was
subsequently acquired by Symantec. He previously led the acquisition of
Cloakware, where he was President and COO, by the Irdeto division of
Naspers. Prior to Cloakware, Canellos held executive roles at Cramer
Systems (now Amdocs), Oracle and SAIC.

“We’re delighted to have David join Ericom Software,” said Eran Heyman,
Founder, Chairman, and Chief Architect. “With his deep cybersecurity
experience and exceptional track record, he is the ideal leader for
Ericom as we continue to develop and promote adoption of Ericom Shield,
our remote browser isolation solution.”

In his research, Gartner VP Research Neil Macdonald states: “Almost all
successful attacks on users originate from the public internet and many
involve web-based attacks. Security and risk management leaders can
contain damage by using remote browser isolation to separate end-user
internet browsing sessions from enterprise endpoints and networks.” *

“As a pioneer in developing remote browser isolation solutions as well
as access technologies for the enterprise market, Ericom Software is
poised for impressive growth, as organizations seeking to apply Zero
Trust methodologies to web browsing learn about the airtight security
that remote browser isolation provides,” said David Canellos. “I look
forward to working with Eran and the entire Ericom team to spearhead
widespread adoption of this and additional leading-edge cybersecurity
technology solutions.”
