LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NVISIONx, the first data risk intelligence (DRI) platform that fuses business data analytics with cyber intel to optimize data protection controls, announces the addition of Ben Johnson, founding CTO of Carbon Black (later sold to VMWare) and Obsidian Security, and Leo Chavez, Founder and former CEO of EITS, to its board of directors. The two industry titans will assist in catapulting NVISIONx in key markets to make the data risk intelligence platform the standard solution for companies’ data protection needs.
“Ben and Leo bring a wealth of expertise in cybersecurity and cyber defense,” said Glen Day, CEO & Founder of NVISIONx. “They deeply understand our mission, our platform, and the unique value we deliver to the market. Their combined networks and insights will be invaluable as we drive our go-to-market strategy forward, especially at a time when data privacy and GenAI adoption are more crucial than ever. We’re honored to welcome these distinguished cybersecurity leaders to our team and look forward to their impact on elevating NVISIONx’s presence in the industry.”
Ben Johnson and Leo Chavez have joined NVISIONx’s board, each bringing impressive records as entrepreneurial cybersecurity leaders with deep commitments to data protection. At NVISIONx, they will help steer the company’s next growth phase, focusing on advancing the platform’s capacity to safeguard critical business data, streamline regulatory compliance, and empower companies to adopt emerging generative AI (GenAI) technologies like Microsoft’s Copilot with confidence. Their combined expertise and proven success are set to significantly boost NVISIONx’s influence in industries that demand more robust and strategic data security solutions.
“From my first conversation with Glen, I recognized NVISIONx as a true innovator in data security,” said Ben Johnson, co-founder of Carbon Black and Obsidian Security and NVISIONx Board of Directors. “As enterprises struggle to classify and manage vast amounts of data across hybrid clouds, NVISIONx has delivered a world-class solution central to modern data governance. Data security posture management (DSPM) has done a lot to progress data protections, but there are gaps in its framework. Data risk intelligence is DSPM on steroids, enabling business and technology leaders to approach data protection as a team sport. I’m truly honored to join the board to support this groundbreaking work.”
“NVISONx is a rocket ship, and our mission is to connect the dots to position NVISIONx at the forefront, helping our customers build Sustainable Cybersecurity Programs,” said Leo Chavez, Field CISO of Mainline and NVISIONx Board of Directors. “It all comes down to the data, NVISONX finds ALL the data, going far beyond compliance classification. Enriching data classifications with business context bridges a crucial operational gap, enabling data owners to effortlessly play their part in protecting what matters most.”
