Axing Cyber Risk

Product Marketing Manager Jackie Lentz brings over a decade of experience in the IT industry to Axio in its battle against cyber risk. “Cybersecurity is something that affects everyone — and I mean everyone — whether you work in the industry or not,” Lentz said in an Axio interview. She and her fellow Axions connect over a shared passion for enacting change. Cybersecurity “should be accessible and usable,” she said. “Understanding the evolving challenges in our threat landscape and creating useful content that will reach end-users in a meaningful way is a fun challenge,” she added.

Axio recently secured $23 million of Series B funding to help further its crusade against cyber risk. In a press release surrounding the funding, CEO and Co-Founder Scott Kannry shared his joy over the milestone and spoke to the shifting landscape of cybersecurity. “The attack landscape has demonstrated that old, faith-based strategies that layer on controls without a clear understanding of what to prioritize have done little to reduce susceptibility,” he said. “CEOs recognize that cybersecurity is a business problem — which requires discussion in financial terms."
