Enterprise cybersecurity company Panaseer announced that it has lined up a group of talented individuals for its Advisory Board — which includes prominent figures in leadership, sustainability, business, and security. The Advisory Board is going to advance Panaseer’s vision of preventing cybersecurity incidents through effective measurement in risk management and help accelerate widespread adoption of Panaseer’s Continuous Controls Monitoring platform with a focus on large enterprises and highly regulated industries.

“Panaseer was the first company to create a Continuous Controls Monitoring platform, which finally solves the cyber metrics and measurement challenges faced by large organisations today. By bringing together this ‘dream team’ of visionaries and experienced leaders we will be able to fully leverage this opportunity as they will be instrumental in enabling us to further enhance our offering and get the word out to the market,” said Panaseer CEO Nik Whitfield.

Robert Swan, OBE was appointed to chair the new Advisory Board. Swan was the first person in history to walk to both the North and South Poles. As a committed environmentalist, he has experience leading and succeeding under the harshest conditions and successfully fundraising — having raised over $80 million for his cause.

“Panaseer is a trailblazer in cyber. Its platform addresses a problem that goes largely unaddressed by others in the market. It thought differently and now is the time for it to capitalise on this foresight. Being a pioneer requires a certain mindset, and I am excited to guide the team on its journey to growth,” explained Swan.

The new Advisory Board team will enable Panaseer to accelerate the forming of this new category of security — which will make a major difference into how enterprise cybersecurity is managed. The members of the new Advisory Board include:
