Dear Security and Networking Enthusiast,
I am excited right now because we are in the midst of closing one of the (if not the) biggest quarter in Aryaka’s 15-year history, and we’ve added some major firepower to our leadership team by adding former VP & GM at Google Cloud Shailesh Shukla as Aryaka’s new Executive Chairman. The level of value that we’re delivering to customers is at an all-time high and I’m bullish about what’s ahead of us this year and into 2024.
September also brought some compelling new resources to share, highlighted by a recent Forrester Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study that was completed with input from four existing customers. The findings are powerful to say the least.
You’ll find a link to that TEI study, Shailesh’s announcement, and more recent news below.
