Lane Bess has joined the ZeroFOX team as both a personal investor and the newest corporate director. Lane’s expertise in growing market innovators is unparalleled in the security industry. Lane has been successful throughout his career – serving as the Chief Operating Officer of Zscaler, President of Trend Micro and serving as CEO while leading and navigating Palo Alto Networks into the position as the market leader in next generation security. Leveraging this experience, Lane will help guide the ZeroFOX team through the next phase of growth and go-to-market expansion.
“We are excited to welcome Lane to the ZeroFOX board,” said James C.
