Alert Logic Hires Gene Golovinsky as New VP of Research & Development; 20 Year Engineering Executive Joins Quickly Growing On Demand IT Security Company.

HOUSTON -- Alert Logic, the only IT network security company leveraging a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform to deliver on-demand protection to mid-sized businesses, today announced the appointment of Gene Golovinsky as the company's new vice president of research and development. Golovinsky brings almost 20 years of technology and management experience to the role, most recently as director of research and development for BMC Software Inc.

Golovinsky joins Alert Logic as the company continues to gain national recognition as the only Software as a Service (SaaS) IT security company dedicated exclusively to the needs of mid-sized businesses. Though many IT security vendors are working to re-engineer existing software and appliance products to deliver SaaS products, it is extremely difficult and time-consuming to complete a total re-deign to deliver IT security as a service. Alert Logic was designed from the ground up to leverage the benefits of the SaaS delivery model - benefits that include rapid deployment, zero maintenance and low total costs of ownership, and has a significant lead on the competition. Golovinsky will head the engineering efforts aimed at increasing Alert Logic's technical leadership and in delivering enhanced IT security and compliance features.

Prior to joining BMC, Golovinsky worked in various engineering capacities for LANNET (now a division of AVAYA), BATL Software and the Institute of Automatic Systems in St. Petersburg, Russia. Through his work at these companies, Golovinsky designed a wide range of IT security products and technology formats, including authentication, SSL, message integrity and privacy.

"Gene is a great addition to Alert Logic and will help us continue to stay three steps ahead of the rest of the market," said Misha Govshteyn, founder and chief technology officer for Alert Logic. "While the rest of the market continues to force-feed expensive and complex software and hardware products to customers, Alert Logic is taking advantage of a SaaS platform to actually deliver easy, effective and affordable IT security."
