LENEXA, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SASE—FireMon, the leading network security policy management (NSPM) company that brings visibility, control, and automation to enterprise network infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Alex Bender as its new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). A veteran cybersecurity marketing executive with over 22 years of industry experience, Bender will lead FireMon’s corporate and go-to-market strategy and play a central role in accelerating brand momentum and market expansion worldwide.
Bender brings a deep command of the cybersecurity landscape and a proven track record in scaling global brands and leading marketing organizations through growth and transformation. He most recently served as CMO at Cyware and Invicti Security and previously held senior roles at Mimecast, RSA Security, McAfee, Onapsis, and Archer Technologies. His cross-functional expertise across threat intelligence, cloud security, GRC, and enterprise cybersecurity uniquely positions him to elevate FireMon’s message, execution, and market reach.
“FireMon is built on a 20+ year foundation of innovation, execution, and trust—and we’re just getting started,” said Jody Brazil, CEO of FireMon. “Organizations have spent millions securing their infrastructure, yet without policy management fundamentals in place, they’re leaving themselves deeply exposed. Alex understands the criticality of effective security management and will help us drive this message home to the world’s largest and most complex enterprises.”
Bender’s appointment follows a wave of strategic momentum for FireMon, including the launch of FireMon Insights, recognition by Cyber Defense Magazine, and the addition of top former Skybox Security talent. By strengthening its leadership team with experts like Bender, FireMon is poised to further capitalize on the growing demand for scalable policy management and cement its position as the go-to provider in the NSPM space.
“I’ve spent my career helping security leaders navigate complexity – and the truth is, most breaches still come to the basics: misconfigured policies, unmanaged rules, and a lack of control,” said Alex Bender, Chief Marketing Officer at FireMon. “What drew me to FireMon is that it tackles the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. This isn’t another vendor chasing the latest buzzword. FireMon is the security control plane every modern enterprise needs. When you get the fundamentals right, everything else in cybersecurity – the network, cloud, compliance, reducing risks, automation – becomes achievable. That’s the mission I’m excited to champion.”
FireMon serves more than 1,700 customers in over 70 countries, including many global 2000 enterprises. Its award-winning Policy Manager solution was recently named Editor’s Choice for Network Security Management by Cyber Defense Magazine, while the FireMon Insights platform is helping CISOs turn policy management into a measurable, board-level asset.
“Alex brings clarity of purpose and deep market insight at a critical time for FireMon,” Brazil added. “His leadership will be instrumental in driving our growth and reinforcing FireMon’s position as the foremost provider of network security policy management solutions.”
