Sell brings 20 years of sales and management experience to the role, including a number of years managing sales at IT security vendors NetIQ and PentaSafe. Sell will be a key component in Alert Logic's continuing efforts to battle the high cost of IT security for SMBs. Most SMBs are currently forced to spend nearly twice as much on IT security as necessary, often on watered down enterprise hardware and software not designed for their specific needs. By offering a unique combination of expert human surveillance, software as a service, and on premise appliances, Alert Logic can deliver the key elements of intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, vulnerability assessment, security event management and managed security services in a seamless, on-demand service. During the past two years Alert Logic has grown into a nationally recognized IT network security vendor, with more than 100 customers across the US. Sell joins an Alert Logic team that has a proven background in IT security, with more than 50 combined years of IT security experience at companies such as Postini, Bindview, PentaSafe and NetIQ. Sell will be responsible for both the direct sales group as well as indirect sales operations. Prior to joining Alert Logic, Sell worked as vice president of sales for Paymetric Incorporated - a provider of integrated payment card solutions for SAP customers. Sell held sales management roles specifically in the security space with NetIQ and PentaSafe Security Technologies. Sell has also held sales and sales management positions at BMC Software and Triad Systems. "It is an uncomfortable truth that most SMBs are spending more than they need on IT security, and I look forward to supporting the Alert Logic effort to fix this increasingly critical business challenge," said Sell. "Alert Logic knows that hard-to-manage hardware and software solutions never designed for SMBs have been forced on these businesses, leaving them with the burden of monitoring and responding to the deluge of false positives." "Thanks to Alert Logic, SMBs and the reseller community are finally beginning to understand the problem and are looking for solutions. One of my first tasks is to build on that fact and develop an aggressive reseller program and a direct sales presence in every US region, to meet the needs that this understanding brings."
