AttackIQ®, the leading independent vendor of breach and attack simulation (BAS) solutions and founding research partner of the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), today announced it has appointed Paul Reid as Vice President of Adversary Research and Rob Stitch as Vice President of Product.

The appointments of Reid and Stitch come at a pivotal time as AttackIQ strengthens its leadership team to support its growth strategy and commitment to delivering industry-leading BAS products. Their combined expertise will accelerate AttackIQ’s efforts to innovate and enhance its offerings, ensuring customers have visibility into their security program performance with clear data-driven analysis and mitigation guidance.

“Our mission is to help every organization, regardless of size or expertise, achieve a robust, threat-informed defense,” said Brett Galloway, CEO of AttackIQ. “Paul and Rob bring decades of expertise and a proven track record of driving impactful change in cybersecurity. Their leadership will significantly enhance our ability to empower security teams to proactively find security gaps in their cyber defenses, ultimately providing even more value to our customers and partners.”

Reid is a veteran of the complex, fast-paced world of cybersecurity, having served as a technology strategist for more than two decades for innovative technology companies. Most recently, Paul has led a team of threat hunters as the Global Head of Threat Intelligence at OpenText. As VP of Adversary Research, Reid will leverage his decades of experience to support the day-to-day delivery of the new attack graphs, track adversaries and keep up with the latest vulnerabilities to provide valuable insights to customers.

“Joining AttackIQ is a unique opportunity to apply my experience from the other side of the cyber defense spectrum,” Reid said. “In my previous roles, I often thought, ‘If only they had done this or tested that.’ At AttackIQ, we proactively identify security control failures and simulate potential attacks, helping organizations build resilience and respond to threats before real damage occurs. I look forward to working with the talented team here to help our customers better understand and cope with the threats they face.”

Stitch brings over 30 years of experience building world-class cyber capabilities and delivering substantial revenue and margin growth. Most recently, Stitch led teams at Trustwave, DXC Technology and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. As VP of Product, Stitch will focus on driving new growth and optimizing product value through strategic partnerships, innovative features, and continuous improvement in sales, delivery, and engineering.

“I'm thrilled to join AttackIQ, a company renowned for its innovative solutions and customer-first mindset," said Stitch. "Having worked in the industry for years, I've always admired AttackIQ's dedication to delivering best-of-breed products and services. The opportunity to contribute to their mission of empowering organizations to prioritize their cyber resilience is incredibly exciting. I'm particularly looking forward to AttackIQ's collaborative culture and the talented team I'll work with."
