Today, SafeNet announced that Tsion Gonen will assume the newly created role of Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer. Tsion joined SafeNet in the Aladdin acquisition in 2009 and has served as Vice President of Products & Marketing for the past 3 years. In addition, Sangeeta Anand has joined the company as General Manager and Corporate Vice President for Enterprise/Commercial Data Protection, and Slawek Ligier has joined as Corporate Vice President, Product Development.

These changes beef up the data protection organization, which has grown rapidly in the past few years.

“It’s a post-breach world, and customers are demanding more sophisticated and secure solutions that protect their high-value data, wherever it resides,” said Chris Fedde, SafeNet President and CEO.  “Increasingly, that means protecting information as it transitions to and through the cloud. In order to meet these demands, it is critical that our business strategies and product capabilities keep ahead of tomorrow’s architectures and threat landscape.  Given Tsion’s knowledge, vision, and security track record, I am confident that he will help SafeNet identify and accelerate into emerging opportunities in the marketplace, as well as ensure that SafeNet remains at the forefront in meeting our customers evolving security needs.”

Chris continued, “I am pleased to welcome executives of Sangeeta’s and Slawek’s caliber to SafeNet.  Their knowledge, technical expertise, and recognized industry credentials will be instrumental to the future development and growth of our data protection portfolio. In particular, their proven track record of innovation and strong execution will be critical as we bring to market the next generation of SafeNet’s cloud and services offerings.”

SafeNet holds a Twitter chat focused on technology and security every Thursday at 2pm EST/ 11am PST. The biggest question we get is not about the technology or ideas we discuss, but “What is a Twitter chat and how do I participate?”

What is a Twitter chat?
A Twitter chat (or tweet chat) is an online discussion using twitter, so every post is a tweet. Because it’s on Twitter, its open to everyone with a Twitter account. Anyone can participate, or just listen in to learn more about the topic.

How Do I Participate?
Step 1: If you don’t already have a Twitter account, sign up at www.twitter.com. Make sure you change your picture from the default egg so you don’t look like too much of a newbie.

Step 2: You can search for “#securechat” on Twitter and follow the chat there, but there are other web sites that make it much, much easier. Our favorite is TweetChat. Go to www.TweetChat.com and sign in using your twitter name and password, then click Authorize App.

Step 3: Search for “securechat” and click Go. This will take you to a page with every tweet including the #securechat hashtag. Here you can “listen in” on the chat or participate with your own tweets. When you tweet, TweetChat has a bonus feature that it automatically adds the #securechat hashtag to the end of your tweet.

Step 4: Start chatting!

For more information on Twitter chats and other tools you can use, you may want to read this post from TwitTip. To see all updates from SafeNet, follow @SafeNetInc.
