Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) company Auth0 announced on Monday that Jameeka Green Aaron has joined the company as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Auth0 offers what it calls a “highly customizable, developer-centric identity management platform” used by thousands of customers around the world. The company has raised more than $330 million in funding, including a $120 million Series F funding at a valuation of $1.92 billion in July 2020.
Aaron brings more than 20 years of industry experience and will be responsible for the security and compliance of Auth0’s platform, products, and corporate environment.
Aaron has spent two decades managing and improving information security systems at each of her previous positions, including Nike, Hurley, Lockheed Martin, and the U.S. Navy.
“Jameeka is an incredible addition to our executive team, not only for her deep experience and leadership, but for her leadership outside of the security industry as well,” said Eugenio Pace, CEO and co-founder of Auth0. “As a company with a mission of inclusivity and access to technology, we were taken by Jameeka’s stewardship to her causes and look forward to driving lasting positive change together. Her unmatched security expertise and dedication is an inspiration and invaluable asset to Auth0.”
Bellevue, Wash-based Auth0 was founded in 2013 by Eugenio Pace (CEO) and Matias Woloski (CTO).
In March 2020, the company launched Auth0 Signals, a collection of threat intelligence tools and capabilities designed to protect customers from identity attacks.
