Email has become the single largest source of cyber attacks and the sophistication of these attacks is increasing every day. Using its patented TrustGraph® technology, Graphus detects, blocks, and remediates even the most sophisticated attacks that get past native platform security features and legacy email security products.

I’m delighted to help the Graphus team build on the substantial momentum they have established in the market.”  

Mr. Gold has more than 20 years of experience driving growth for innovative software, SaaS, and cybersecurity companies.  Most recently, he served as Chief Marketing Officer at Virtru, a leader in encryption and data protection. In this role, he helped drive growth from zero to 8 figures of annual recurring revenue and more than 8,000 corporate customers in just three years. The Washington Business Journal named Mr. Gold its 2017 CMO of the Year for his contributions to the company’s growth. Prior to Virtru, he led marketing efforts at Sonatype, Progress Software, and Red Hat.
