“I strive to work with companies that have transformative technology, leadership with a clear vision for building sustained growth over time, and the experience to turn that vision into reality,” he said. “Lacework embodies these attributes more than any company I have ever seen. Lacework has already upended the cloud security market and provided tremendous benefit to customers in the process. I’m excited to amplify that success by cultivating a robust partner ecosystem to bring the Polygraph Data Platform to businesses all over the world.”

Leadership at Splunk

Prior to Lacework, Lanigan was with Splunk for nearly nine years. There, he led global strategic alliances across GSIs, MSPs and CSPs. He helped support a global channel and alliances organization with more than 2,200 partners at the time of his departure.

Lacework‘s partner program provides resources to help partners uncover new revenue opportunities and scale their business alongside the company.

Andy Byron is Lacework’s president and chief revenue officer.

“Brian has deep relationships across the partner community, and knows how to build, scale and support a global channel and alliances organization,” he said. “We’re thrilled to have him join Lacework to build on the foundations of our rich partner ecosystem and help us change the security industry forever.”
