D3 Security Hires Cybersecurity Sales Leader Michael Lyons as CRO

January 12, 2023 by Robert Lewis Leave a Comment

Vancouver cybersecurity company D3 Security has hired Michael Lyons as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

D3 is a leader in next-generation security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR).

Lyons will lead D3 Security’s sales efforts as the SOAR vendor continues to grow its global footprint in the security services (MSP, MSSP, MDR) public sector, and enterprise markets.

Lyons is a widely known sales and channel leader, with more than 20 years of experience in successfully growing the revenue and value of Cybersecurity companies.

Most recently, Lyons was VP of Global Channel and MSP/MSSP at Avanan, a cloud email security company that was acquired by Check Point in 2021.

“D3 is in a phase of intense growth, and Mike is the perfect person to lead our sales team through this phase,” said Gordon Benoit, D3 Security’s Founder and President.

“He has been through this exact scenario with cybersecurity companies before, and successfully enabled them to reach their ambitious goals by finding the force multipliers for their businesses. We know he will do the same for D3.”

D3 Security grew rapidly throughout 2022, adding many new enterprise customers and MSSP/MDR partners.

A recent USD $10 million capital investment from Vistara has accelerated the company’s growth, enabling the building of the industry’s largest team dedicated solely to SOAR R&D.

This investment in development has made D3 NextGen SOAR the leading independent SOAR platform and an indispensable tool for many of the world’s most sophisticated security teams.

“Beyond its cutting-edge technology, what attracted me to D3 is the vision of the company’s leadership, and the opportunity to help transform security operations for MSSPs and enterprise SOC teams worldwide,” said Lyons.

“I’ve dedicated my career to helping security leaders solve tough challenges, something D3 knows a lot about. I’m looking forward to partnering with organizations who want to realize business benefits from their security automation programs.”
