His leadership qualities combined with his extensive experience in cyber security make Greg the ideal person to lead TrapX."

"During the course of a year we have seen over one billion data records compromised and over $1 billion stolen by hackers. Current cyber security defense solutions are clearly not enough to meet the increasing wave of advanced and deadly cyber attacks. TrapX's unique ability to detect and deter attackers once they have penetrated an organization's network brings compelling value for our customers and partners and complements their existing security solutions," said Gregory Enriquez, chief executive officer for TrapX. "TrapX provides a new layer of defense to defend against targeted attacks. I am confident we can grow our leadership position in the cyber-security market."

Prior to joining FireEye, Enriquez served as vice president of worldwide sales for rapidly growing Mandiant, which was acquired for a one billion dollar valuation.
