“SecureAuth was built on strong identity and access innovation, and continues to take passwordless continuous authentication to the next level with Arculix,” Dowd said.

SecureAuth is well-positioned to help organizations show their value-add, Dowd said. It does so by addressing the demands of digital acceleration and a challenging digital identity threat landscape.

Driving Sales Growth

As the latest addition to the SecureAuth leadership team, Dowd brings experience in driving sales growth and supporting successful value-add solutions for channel partners for a broad range of technology solutions. Prior to SecureAuth, Dowd was CyrusOne‘s area vice president. There, he built an enterprise sales team, growing the business by 500%, and leading to the $15 billion acquisition by KKR and GIP.

As an AppDynamics, AppSense and Dell Technologies veteran, Dowd held sales and channel leadership positions driving market adoption.

Paul Trulove is SecureAuth‘s CEO.

“With the recent launch of Arculix, our next-generation authentication platform, Dennis is joining SecureAuth at an exciting time,” he said. “And we look forward to accelerating growth by partnering with customers to deliver a frictionless, but secure authentication process for all users.”

Prior to SecureAuth, he worked at PlanGrid, which was acquired by Autodesk, and YuMe, a public company with $170 million in annual revenue.
