FREMONT, Calif., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Privacera, the cloud data governance and security
leader founded by the creators of Apache Ranger™, is pleased to
announce that its CFO Linda
Khachooni has been recognized as a Top 25 Women Leader in
Cybersecurity for 2021 by The Software Report. Hundreds of
exceptional women were nominated in this year's process, which the
market research firm evaluated based on a series of questions that
demonstrated their cybersecurity expertise. The full list of
leaders can be viewed here.
According to The Software Report, as legacy systems undergo
digital transformation and companies adapt to cloud-based
infrastructure and remote operations, the need for highly skilled
security professionals has never been higher. The women that
comprise this year's list have not only stepped up to new
challenges in addressing cyber risks and vulnerabilities, they also
implemented proactive strategies that will ensure ongoing
resilience to cyberattacks for both their organizations and their
clients. Their specialized expertise in areas such as compliance,
threat detection and response, identity management, and others has
contributed not only to their organizations but also to the broader
cybersecurity field. Moreover, many have worked diligently to
promote diversity in their workplaces and to foster the
professional development of their teams, demonstrating their
commitment to continuous improvement and growth.
"As the past year's events have shown, the ability to provide
guidance and insight amid unprecedented change has never been more
important to an organization's success and growth," said
Balaji Ganesan, Co-Founder and CEO
of Privacera. "As CFO, Linda has been a valuable and trusted member
of our Executive Team, bringing more than thirty years of
experience working with early-stage growth companies to her
position. We congratulate her for this recognition and for her
stellar contributions overseeing our finance, legal, operations,
negotiations, fundraising, and organizational processes."
Linda helped increase Privacera's team by 130 percent and
secured outside funding for the company whose mission is to enable
data democratization without compromising compliance with
regulations, such as GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and HIPAA. Prior to
Privacera, she was an integral part of the C-Suite for a number of
emerging businesses where she oversaw financial management and
growth, and M&A activities that led to acquisitions by
AT&T, eBay, Smith Micro, Riverstone, and Excite.
"Integrating privacy, compliance, and security has become a
table stake for organizations looking to migrate enterprise data to
the cloud and drive data analytics which was made evident by
Privacera's recent $50M Series B,"
said Khachooni. "With a 2.5X ARR growth in 2020 and numerous
Fortune 500 companies as customers, Privacera continues to be
recognized as part of an elite set of companies with the most
potential to tectonically shift how enterprises operate for the
better. I am thrilled to be part of such an important and vibrant
company and look forward to helping Privacera continue to excel
during its next phase of opportunity and growth."
