Toby has spent his career scaling businesses through pivotal technology transitions, and we are confident in his ability to lead Securonix forward."
Weiss brings more than three decades of experience leading enterprise software and cybersecurity businesses.

Toby Weiss commented: "Security operations are entering a new era where success will be measured not by how many alerts analysts review, but by how much security work organizations can execute. Our customers want three things: better security outcomes, greater operational efficiency, and the ability to scale without proportionally increasing costs. Securonix is uniquely positioned to deliver on those priorities. Our advanced analytics help organizations identify the threats that matter most. Our Data Pipeline Manager gives customers greater control over security data economics and visibility. Our Agentic AI innovations help automate and accelerate investigation and response workflows while maintaining governance and human oversight."
Marion Smith, Chief Financial Officer at Securonix, added: "Customers are looking for measurable security outcomes despite growing operational complexity. They want to improve analyst productivity, accelerate investigations, strengthen security posture, and maximize the value of their security investments. Toby understands how to connect innovation with customer success and business results. His leadership will help accelerate growth, deepen customer partnerships, and continue delivering the operational outcomes security teams need."
Under Weiss's leadership, Securonix will continue advancing its Unified Defense SIEM platform, including innovations such as Sam, the AI SOC Analyst, and Agentic Mesh, helping security teams automate repetitive work, accelerate investigations, improve response effectiveness, and increase SOC efficiency while maintaining governance and human oversight. Through innovations such as Data Pipeline Manager, which can reduce SIEM data costs by 30-50%, and Agentic AI capabilities that can accelerate investigations by 50-80%, Securonix is helping organizations achieve faster time to value, improve security outcomes, and maximize ROI from their cybersecurity investments.
