Zambrano joins the company as interest in workforce passwordless authentication is accelerating. While the pandemic is continuing to drive digital transformation and hybrid work environments, security threats such as phishing and ransomware are continuing to grow dramatically. These two factors have contributed to a perfect storm of less protected organizational networks and resources that are facing more widespread attacks. Secret Double Octopus’s enterprise passwordless solution can secure an organization’s weakest link, its employees, at every moment of their workday, regardless of application or resource being accessed by the user.

Zambrano comes to Double Octopus with over 20 years of experience in marketing and product marketing, as well as broader go-to-market contribution in product evangelization and business development. He has held executive leadership roles in marketing at several early and mid-stage cybersecurity startups including TruU, Virsec, Mocana and OPSWAT, as well as product management leadership roles at Cisco and Juniper. He holds a BS in Computer Engineering and an MBA from Stanford.

“I am thrilled to join Secret Double Octopus to continue working to move enterprises toward a passwordless future,” said Zambrano. “Double Octopus has delivered on the complete and full featured solution the market is looking for, and I’m excited to help take their message and go-to-market operations to the next level.”
