This is a perfect fit for me as I am passionate about helping security professionals at every level solve their most pressing cybersecurity challenges. I am equally proud to hand over the CTO reigns to Jens, who has a strong track record of driving technical excellence, so Veracode can deliver even more innovation and secure the software supply chain.”
