NSS Labs appointed Dominick Delfino as Executive Advisor and said he will advise its leadership team as the company expands testing for AI-driven cybersecurity. The appointment came as NSS Labs described a need for independent validation of security efficacy at a time when automated threats have become more sophisticated.
The company framed its work around product validation rather than product deployment. It said enterprises need real-world testing to separate marketing claims from security performance, and it linked that need to the requirements of AI. NSS Labs also described its position as focused on transparency and data-driven evidence in security assessment.
Delfino recently served as Global Vice President of Cybersecurity Sales at Google Cloud, where he led global go-to-market strategy for the security portfolio, including Mandiant integration. His background also included chief revenue officer roles at Nutanix and Pure Storage, along with senior roles at VMware and Cisco.
Under the advisory role, Delfino will focus on global sales, strategic partnerships, and roadmap alignment. NSS Labs said the work would connect the company’s plans to shifting AI requirements while it grew its enterprise programs.
“Dominick is a distinguished leader in the technology and security space,” said Vikram Phatak, CEO of NSS Labs. “His experience scaling global organizations and his deep understanding of the cloud and security landscape from his time at Google Cloud and VMware will be invaluable. Dominick understands exactly what enterprise customers need, and his guidance will be instrumental as we grow our enterprise programs.”
“Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed how difficult it is for organizations to separate marketing claims from actual security performance,” said Delfino. “NSS Labs has always stood for transparency and data-driven truth in a crowded marketplace. I am thrilled to be helping the team scale and ensure that enterprises have the right tools to deliver independent, real-world validation of their security controls.”
