With over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, Chase is a seasoned security and counterintelligence researcher, bringing a wealth of expertise that will greatly benefit our organization.
Chase is a cybersecurity expert who currently serves as the Vice President of Cybersecurity Market Research at G2, driving security analysis. A retired Navy Chief cryptologist, Cunningham previously held leadership roles at Forrester Research and Ericom Software. As a thought leader, Cunningham is passionate about helping organizations improve their cybersecurity posture.

Geoff Halstead, Faction Networks Co-Founder and CPO said: “Chase expertise aligns perfectly with Faction Networks’ mission to deliver true Zero Trust security for networking, devices, and data that is low cost and easy to use. As we work to eliminate vulnerabilities associated with traditional VPNs and SDNs that run with centralized cloud services, Chase’s insights and his deep understanding of Zero Trust security principles and how they are applied to the rapidly expanding threat matrix we all face will be instrumental in enhancing our offerings.”
Dave Rand, Faction Networks Co-Founder, CEO and CTO added: “We are thrilled to have Chase on board. We are in a period of unprecedented threats, where the catastrophic risks posed by the convergence of AI, cyber crime conglomerates, warfare and terrorism are rapidly making the ‘good enough’ approach and centralized cloud architectures of current leaders unsustainable. Chase is a leader in both thought and action to bring focus to these issues, and we are delighted to have his counsel and voice added to our commitment to providing secure and innovative solutions to meet these challenges.”
