This month we’re sharing an important company update: Stamus Networks has appointed a new CEO and CFO! We also highlight an independent analysis examining NATO’s evolving cyber threat landscape and provide practical guidance for investigating two newly disclosed Microsoft vulnerabilities using Clear NDR.
Stamus Appoints New CEO and CFO
Mark Firmin, CEO
Patrick Deane, CFO
Stamus Networks has announced the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, strengthening the company’s leadership team as adoption of its Clear NDR® platform continues to expand.
Both executives bring extensive experience leading and building technology organizations, with deep expertise in operational leadership and financial strategy.
In the announcement, we share more about their backgrounds and how their leadership will help guide Stamus Networks through its next phase of innovation and global growth.
In a recent analysis published in Meer, political analyst Tarık Özcanexamined the growing scale and complexity of the cyber threats facing NATO, noting that the alliance is confronting challenges unlike any it has faced before.
His perspective reinforces something we’ve experienced firsthand over the past decade supporting NATO cyber exercises: modern defense requires more than certifications or theoretical preparedness.It demands repeated, realistic testing against coordinated, high-pressure attack scenarios.
In our latest blog, we connect Özcan’s analysis to our 10-year commitment to participating in NATO CCDCOE exercises and explain why battle-tested detection, real-world validation, and operational readiness matter more than ever.
New CVEs create urgency, but knowing whether your environment has actually been targeted is what truly matters. CVE-2026-21510 and CVE-2026-21511 are prime examples that could allow remote code execution if successfully exploited.
We regularly share practical investigation guidance because vulnerability alerts alone don’t answer the most important question: Are we exposed? By walking through how to use Clear NDR to analyze network traffic, identify indicators of compromise, and validate potential exploitation attempts with packet-level evidence and timeline context, we help security teams move from awareness to definitive answers.
We’ll be on the ground at Forum InCyber Europe March 31 – April 2 in Lille, France — one of Europe’s leading cybersecurity events that unites practitioners, vendors, and public sector leaders around operational cyber challenges and digital trust.
If you’ll be at the show and want to talk through NDR evaluation challenges, alert quality, or SOC workload realities, stop by or book time with our team while you’re there.
Tested in high-pressure, adversary-driven NATOcyber exercises, Clear NDR has demonstrated the accuracy and transparency security teams need to confidently defend against real-world threats. Learn more, get pricing, or request a live demo to see what threats you're missing.
