Attivo Networks®, an award-winning leader in deception for cybersecurity threat detection, announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Carolyn Crandall, chief deception officer and CMO, and Helena Belem Kuly, director of technology, industry and partner programs to its esteemed 2020 Women of the Channel list. Recognizing the unique strengths, vision, and achievements of a select group of women, this prestigious, annual list acknowledges channel leaders who are blazing a trail for future generations. Crandall was also named to CRN’s Power 100, an elite subset of the list.
The leaders recognized are from all areas of the IT channel ecosystem, representing technology suppliers, distributors, solution providers, and other IT organizations. The CRN® editorial team selects the honorees for their contributions to channel advocacy, growth, thought leadership, and dedication to the IT channel. The Power 100, an exclusive subset of the overall list, honors women whose leadership and vision are key drivers of their companies’ success and have had significant influence to move the IT channel forward.
This is Crandall’s eleventh recognition from CRN as one of its Women of the Channel, and it is her tenth time named to the Power 100. Crandall has over 25 years of experience building emerging technology markets in security, networking and storage industries. As chief deception officer and CMO at Attivo Networks, she created and now evangelizes the company’s channel program, partner profitability, integration partner and joint lead generation programs. Crandall is currently focused on educating organizations and their supporting partners on how to build and enhance their deception-based threat detection programs, which are designed to reduce cyber risk as attacks get more sophisticated and attack surfaces change to incorporate cloud, IoT, and new interconnected technologies. She is an active speaker, blogger, and byline contributor with a focus on cybersecurity innovation and information technology challenges.
As director of technology, industry and partner programs, Kuly is responsible for the alignment, planning and execution of the company’s global channel and technology partner marketing. In her role, she oversees all channel partner program and marketing activities, as well as channel and technology partner campaigns. Since joining the company in 2017, Kuly’s efforts have driven increased market demand and accelerated the company’s pipeline.
