Sentinel Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), an MSP and managed network security services provider, has appointed Ted Gruenloh as its CEO. Gruenloh succeeds Sentinel IPS founder David Lissberger, who will remain on the company's board of directors.
The CEO transition comes as Sentinel seeks to push deeper into the managed network detection and response (MNDR) market.
Gruenloh has more than 15 years of senior management experience. He most recently served as Sentinel IPS's COO. In addition, Gruenloh has shaped Sentinel IPS's network security model since the company's inception in 1995, the business stated. Going forward, Gruenloh said he expects Sentinel IPS to provide "the most comprehensive and cost-effective managed security and compliance solution for lean IT teams."
