Breaches have consequences, Wednesday edition. Michael Novinson reports that Calcalist has reported that the CEO of Imperva resigned following the disclosure of a data breach. The breach was initially disclosed in August and then later blamed on a stolen API key. Novinson reports:
The Redwood Shores, Calif.-based cybersecurity vendor confirmed Hylen’s departure to Israeli business news publication Calcalist on Monday. Hylen joined Imperva as president and CEO in August 2017 following nearly four years overseeing Citrix’s mobility practice, and spearheaded publicly traded Imperva’s $2.1 billion sale to private equity giant Thoma Bravo in January 2019.
