Swimlane, a security automation company that provides cloud-scale, low-code security automation for organizations, has announced its expansion to the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META) followed by an appointment of Ashraf Sheet as vice president of the region.

The platform will provide maximum flexibility for META organizations with cloud, on-prem and air-gapped deployment options for secure-access environments.

The newly appointed Vice President of the region (META) Ashraf Sheet is an accomplished sales leader with more than 20 years experience in the cybersecurity market. He has held progressive roles leading sales and channel teams across local and multinational companies including InfoBlox and LinkShadow.

Throughout his career, Sheet has established himself as a trusted advisor to many of the world’s most-recognized brands across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa.

While speaking on what innovative solutions the firm and the Vice President of the region (META) Ashraf Sheet will bring, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Swimlane Jim Pickering said,

“Ashraf brings immense credibility and go-to-market experience throughout META, and I’m excited to have him lead Swimlane’s expansion in the region.

“Our unique low-code approach to security automation is a game-changer for security teams in META, offering a solution that meets the region’s most-demanding and constantly evolving security operations requirements.”

He further added that the region’s vice president will be responsible for expanding Swimlane’s sales and technical teams across the region, as well as onboarding strategic channel partners and distributors to expand the company’s presence and market share.

Earlier this year, the firm raised a $70 million growth funding round led by Activate Capital which Swimlane disclosed that it will be used to accelerate the company’s ongoing growth and operations on a global scale while continuing to advance its platform innovations in security automation ahead of the competition.

Swimlane has transcended traditional SOAR and risen to meet the growing need for low-code security automation to help organizations quantify business value, overcome process and data fatigue, and combat chronic staffing shortages.
