Arctic Wolf Networks Names Nick Schneider New Head of Sales to Accelerate Growth of Disruptive Security Operations Center-as-a-Service


Arctic Wolf Networks, a leading security operations center (SOC)-as-a-service company, today announced that Nick Schneider has been named the company's head of sales to accelerate the company's rapid growth and recruit a select group of partners for its new Apex (News - Alert) Partner Program. Schneider has a proven track record of driving growth and building successful partner programs at companies such as Code42 Software and Dell (News - Alert)/Compellent. He will play a key role in executing Arctic Wolf's growth strategy and nationwide expansion.

Arctic Wolf is redefining the economics of security and disrupting the advanced security services market with AWN CyberSOC, an end-to-end service specifically created for mid-market companies that provides one of the most advanced set of threat detection capabilities available. The service is ideal for smaller companies who struggle to deploy, manage and use an effective combination of expertise and tools without the luxury of large security budgets and teams of security personnel.

"Nick has extensive experience growing high performance sales teams and building out successful partner programs," said Brian NeSmith, co-founder and CEO of Arctic Wolf. "He has the unique combination of strategic vision and operational expertise, which will be invaluable as we embark on our next phase of rowth."



Schneider brings more than a decade of success in high tech sales. In his previous role, he served as the vice president of North American sales for Code42 Software, an industry-leading end point data protection company. Prior to Code42 Software, Nick led high performing sales teams at Compellent Technologies, where he helped the company grow to a successful IPO and eventual acquisition by Dell.

"Small and mid-sized enterprises can now afford a world-class security operations center. It is no longer just for large enterprises with multimillion dollar budgets," said Nick Schneider, head of sales at Arctic Wolf. "The response from partners has been tremendously positive, and they are excited to see such a complete security service that fits the needs of their customers."


Arctic Wolf is actively recruiting a small number of partners to join the Apex Partner Program and transform the security industry. Partners will be on the leading edge of offering a comprehensive threat detection and response service that differs from traditional managed security services. SOC-as-a-service focuses on outcome-based services that are focused on detecting previously undetected threats that have breached a company's perimeter defenses.

"Security operations center-as-a-service is the future of security, and we see tremendous need in the market for AWN CyberSOC," said Michael Maddox, president, ASK. "Our customers can now have a security operations center that is comprehensive, deploys quickly and affordably--at a fraction of what it would cost to do it themselves."

Arctic Wolf is rapidly expanding its sales team and opening up offices nationwide including, Utah, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Massachusetts.
