Fulton, MD ‒ April 26, 2021 ‒ SightGain, the only cybersecurity risk management platform that analyzes organizational readiness – across people, processes and technology – to stop breaches, today announced the appointment of Michael Right as Vice President of Product.

SightGain is in an enviable market position as the industry’sindustries first continuous readiness platform that’s transforming the way cybersecurity risk is managed. I’m looking forward to furthering the development of SightGain’s offerings and continuing to drive the company’s vision to dramatically improve how cybersecurity leaders manage risk.”
About SightGain
