Mitiga, the only real-time Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) solution for enterprises, has appointed Charlie Thomas, the founding CEO of award-winning cybersecurity firm Deepwatch, as its Chief Executive Officer.
Charlie brings 30 years’ experience growing companies from early-stage ventures into industry leaders. Charlie previously served as the founding Chief Executive Officer of Deepwatch and was instrumental in its tenfold growth and evolution as a market leader in cyber resilience, having led the firm from launch and now as a board member. Charlie will lead Mitiga’s expansion as the company advances its platform and geographic reach to meet the increasing demand for sophisticated cloud security solutions.
Charlie joins Mitiga following the recent Series B investment led by SYN Ventures, and the appointments of John Watters, former President and COO of Mandiant, as Executive Chairman, and Robert Rodriguez, Venture Partner at SYN Ventures, to the Board of Directors. With this move, Mitiga co-founder Tal Mozes will transition to the newly created position of Chief Business Officer focused on expanding the company’s business in Europe and will remain on the board of directors. Together, these appointments reflect the formation of a team with unrivalled expertise and experience in building successful cybersecurity scale-ups.
