Dark Web security vendor appoints channel chief

Dark Web threat intelligence provider KELA has appointed Ayesha Prakash as its vice president of global channels and alliances.

The New York, US-headquartered vendor said Prakash will build and evolve the company's strategic alliances and expand its global engagement with channel and technology partners.

Nir Barak, CEO and founder of KELA, said: “I'm confident that Ayesha's past 15 years of achievements combined with her superb talent will make her a significant asset to the team. She's clearly a highly experienced sales and partnerships leader within the cyber-security industry.”

She previously held sales and channel roles at Invincea, Flashpoint and Terbium Labs. Prakash said: “I'm looking forward to incorporating my knowledge and expertise with KELA's existing capabilities to be able to help the company expand its strategic partnerships around the world. KELA serves as a true partner to all of its clients.”

She currently serves on the cyber-security boards at both Pace University and Ithaca College in the US. Last October, KELA's US rival Resecurity appointed Selene Giupponi as its managing director for Europe. She is based in Italy. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Resecurity delivers in-depth security analysis layered on top of exclusive sets of data from the Deep and Dark Web through its Hunter Unit.
