Washington D.C., March 3, 2020—Today, Jazz Networks, an award-winning insider threat security company, announced Joel Brunson has joined as CEO of Federal business. Brunson brings world-class leadership in business growth and proven expertise in the federal government sector.

Joel brings a unique vision and an incredible depth of experience working with the federal government on both cybersecurity and video solutions, which is a huge asset for our team and our customers.”

Brunson says the need for a solution to the insider threat challenge became evident
in the 1980s when Aldrich Ames, a Central Intelligence Agency officer who was
convicted of espionage. This was long before the risks were made famous by
Snowden and Manning.
“The government sector, as well as private organizations bound by government regulations, need to rethink their approach to security. To beat the risk of insider threats, solutions must be designed around individual human behavior and need to capture the full range of human behavior, from unintentional mistakes giving access to outsiders to intentional theft of government property.”
Brunson joins Jazz Networks from Acano, which was acquired by Cisco. Before
Acano, Brunson led teams at Black Box Video, Tandberg, and Avaya. Brunson has a
