Cybersecurity Leader from Barracuda Networks, Blackstone Group and Optiv Steers Product and Service Development for Burgeoning Security Operations Platform and MDR Provider

WASHINGTON – November 15, 2023 – Adlumin, the security operations platform and managed detection and response (MDR) provider keeping mid-market organizations secure, today announced that it hired Jessvin Thomas as its first chief product officer (CPO). With more than two decades of experience scaling cybersecurity teams, products and managed service offerings at organizations including Barracuda Networks, Optiv and Blackstone Group, Thomas will lead Adlumin’s product and services teams to continue developing innovative offerings that solve critical security needs for its customers and channel partners.

“Adlumin is growing rapidly because we’ve figured out how to bring sophisticated cybersecurity technology and expertise to a massive swath of the market that couldn’t access it before. As we mature and scale, adding another proven leader like Jessvin to our executive team will enable us to accelerate growth even more,” said Robert Johnston, CEO and co-founder of Adlumin. “Jessvin has the perfect combination of expertise to lead our product and services organizations through the next phase of growth. He’s been extremely successful in building security products and teams, delivering security services, and working hand-in-hand with channel partners. We couldn’t ask for a better fit.”

Prior to joining Adlumin, Thomas founded Cyber iSight, a SaaS platform to help virtual chief information security officers (vCISOs) improve security programs and the security posture of mid-market companies. As part of his new role, he’ll apply these concepts towards advancing Adlumin’s mission of helping mid-market companies protect themselves and improve their security capabilities.

Before founding Cyber iSight, Thomas was senior vice president and chief technology officer at Barracuda SKOUT Managed XDR. Thomas joined Barracuda Networks in 2021 after its acquisition of SKOUT Secure Intelligence, where he was President and CTO and led the company through the successful acquisition and integration with Barracuda. Before SKOUT, Thomas held leadership roles at Optiv including VP and GM of managed security services, and VP and GM of next generation security orchestration analytics. He was also VP at The Blackstone Group where he implemented world class security operations for the company, developed repeatable programs to extend to Blackstone’s portfolio of companies, and helped identify seed and Series A investment opportunities in technology startups.

“I’ve been extremely fortunate throughout my career to work with some of the most respected and forward-looking organizations in business and cybersecurity, and joining Adlumin is another step in that journey,” said Jessvin Thomas, CPO at Adlumin. “It’s an exciting time to be joining an organization that’s having such a profound impact on improving cybersecurity for a massive segment of the market that needs it now more than ever before.”

Thomas joins Adlumin following several major milestones, including the close of a $70 million funding round that will enable the company to accelerate its aggressive growth. The company was also recently ranked among the top 10% of America’s fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine, earned a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, and was named to The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups list for 2023.

Adlumin Ranks Among Fastest-Growing Companies in North America on the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™

November 8, 2023/in Press Releases/by Adlumin Staff

Security Operations Platform and Managed Detection and Response Provider Achieves 808% Revenue Growth Making Sophisticated Cybersecurity Attainable to Mid-Market Organizations

WASHINGTON – November 8, 2023 — Adlumin, the security operations platform and managed detection and response (MDR) provider keeping mid-market organizations secure, today announced it ranked No. 178 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 29^th year. Adlumin grew 808% during the evaluated three-year period, from 2019 to 2022.

“Improving cybersecurity to guard against increasingly sophisticated and persistent attackers has become imperative for every organization, regardless of size. Hackers are not just targeting big businesses or the government, and are putting midsized organizations – who don’t have the same resources to devote to cybersecurity – in a very difficult spot,” said Robert Johnston, CEO and co-founder of Adlumin. “Our tremendous growth is a testament to Adlumin’s ability to make sophisticated, enterprise-grade cybersecurity attainable to organizations that didn’t have the resources to achieve it before. We’re working hard alongside channel partners across the country, and expanding with partners across the world, to ensure every organization has the tools and support they need to stay secure.”

To continue accelerating its growth, Adlumin recently closed $70 million in series B funding. The company was also recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine, and earned a spot on The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups list for 2023.

“Each year we look forward to reviewing the progress and innovations of our Technology Fast 500 winners. This year is especially celebratory as we expand the number of winners to better represent just how many companies are developing new ideas to progress our society and the world, especially during a slow economy,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “While software and services and life sciences continue to dominate the top 10, we are encouraged to see other categories making their mark. Congratulations to all the winners who show us how creativity, hard work and perseverance can lead to success.”

“As for growing companies, it’s always rewarding to be recognized for the ongoing commitment it takes to navigate obstacles, transform when necessary and ultimately create a thriving business,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit and assurance practice. “Over the nearly 30 years we’ve been compiling the Technology Fast 500, we’ve seen new categories emerge, growth rates explode, and certain regional markets shine from the bright talent they attract. We are proud of all the winners for achieving this well-deserved honor.”

Overall, the 2023 Technology Fast 500 companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 201% to 222,189% over the three-year time frame from 2019 to 2022, with an average growth rate of 1,934% and a median growth rate of 497%.
