SecurityScorecard today announced that Dean Sysman, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Axonius, has joined its Board of Directors as an independent director.
Dean is one of the most respected builders in cybersecurity today. Sysman co-founded Axonius and scaled it into a leader in cyber asset management. The platform helps organizations maintain accurate asset inventories, reduce complexity, and improve security outcomes. He has led the company from startup to category leader. Under his leadership, Axonius has scaled rapidly, earning recognition for both its innovation and its disciplined approach to growth.
Sysman brings founder-led perspective and deep operational experience scaling a high-growth cybersecurity company. He focuses on solving persistent security challenges and building products that deliver measurable outcomes.
“We welcome Dean Sysman to the Board and look forward to his contributions as SecurityScorecard continues to rapidly grow,” said Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO and Co-Founder of SecurityScorecard. “Cyber risk continues to shift as third-party ecosystems grow more complex and threats evolve faster. Organizations now expect more than visibility; they need action, automation, and measurable outcomes. Dean’s experience building platforms that simplify complexity and deliver clarity aligns directly with our direction and will help us execute faster for our customers. I knew and admired Dean for a long time, so I am excited to work with him on scaling SecurityScorecard further.”
His perspective will be invaluable as SecurityScorecard scales to meet growing global demand, strengthens its position as the trusted standard for managing third-party cyber risk around the globe, and as it continues advancing its platform, enabling customers to move from insight to action.
Dean understands the importance of building for the long term—balancing innovation with execution, and growth with durability. That mindset will be a strong addition to our board as the company continues to scale its global business and market leadership.
