Distil Networks, a cybersecurity company that focuses on identifying and stopping increasingly advanced bots, marked Cybersecrity Awareness Month by announcing in a press release on October 11 that Tiffany Olson Jones will be the company’s new CEO. Olson Jones has more than 15 years in the cybersecurity business, and will replace the former CEO of the company, Rami Essaid. He will retain a position as Chief Product and Strategy Officer, and also as the chairman of the Board of Directors.
