Nico Popp, former senior vice president for cloud and information protection at Symantec, has been named chief product officer of Forcepoint.
The 15-year cloud technology veteran will oversee the implementation of its behavioral-based security-as-a-service offering for government and enterprise customers, Forcepoint said Tuesday.
