— IID, a Tacoma-based company that acts as a central resource for cyberthreats, has brought on board Kelly Haggerty, a former McAfee VP to serve as its first chief product officer. Haggerty will be responsible for IID’s product strategy, releases and other solutions, including the company’s threat intelligence management system called ActiveTrust. At McAfee, Haggerty served as the company’s VP of product, in charge of worldwide development and execution for the company’s security management platforms. Before McAfee, Haggerty worked at Actiance and SurfControl, which was acquired by Websense.

“For businesses looking to secure themselves and their customers, the biggest challenge is cutting through the noise of all of the cyberthreat data, determining what is important to them, and then having that intelligence plug and play with any of their security appliances,” Haggerty said. “ActiveTrust breaks these barriers and that’s why I’m so excited to join IID to continue their long legacy of innovating ways to make the Internet a safer place.”
