Filigran accelerates global enterprise growth with executive leadership expansion across Americas Sales and cybersecurity. Company appoints Tim Durkee as SVP of Americas Sales and Mathieu Rigotto as CISO following market expansion and Great Place to Work certification PARIS - Sept. 29, 2026 - Filigran, the European open-source threat management company, today announced two additions to its leadership team: Tim Durkee as senior vice president of sales, Americas, and Mathieu Rigotto as chief information security officer. The strategic hires come as Filigran experiences rapid international growth following record revenue and platform expansion. Durkee brings more than a decade of experience building enterprise sales organizations and taking cybersecurity and enterprise software products to market. Most recently, Durkee served as chief revenue officer at Finite State, where he led global revenue. Previously, he held sales leadership roles at Brinqa and Planview. Based in Austin, Texas, Durkee will lead Filigran's sales organization across the Americas as the company continues to expand its presence in the region. "Filigran has built something differentiated by combining open source with a practical approach to threat exposure management," Durkee said. "I'm excited to help bring that approach to more organizations across the Americas and build on the momentum the company has created." Rigotto brings extensive experience in cybersecurity leadership and security operations. He previously led the cybersecurity business at IMS Networks and served as general manager of Cyblex Technologies, where he oversaw the development and commercialization of cybersecurity technology. More recently, he served in security leadership roles at Free2move, a Stellantis subsidiary. At Filigran, Rigotto will oversee the company's information security strategy as it continues to scale its platform, team and global operations. "Most security teams can tell you what they've patched. Very few can tell you what an attacker could actually reach, which of those exposures matter most, or whether that's still true a month later," Rigotto said. "Filigran built its platform around answering that cycle, and my job is to make sure we hold ourselves to the same standard we help our customers meet." The appointments come as Filigran continues to grow its team and global presence. The company was recently certified as a Great Place to Work in the U.S., France and Australia, recognizing its workplace culture as it builds a team around its mission to advance open-source agentic threat management. Filigran is hiring across the organization, with opportunities for professionals interested in helping shape the future of open-source threat management.

Filigran partners with SEK to bring managed Threat Intelligence to Latin America. Business Wire SEK will embed OpenCTI and OpenAEV directly into the MDR and SOC services it runs for enterprise customers PARIS & SÃO PAULO, Brazil, September 15, 2026-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Filigran, the European open-source threat management company, today announced a partnership with SEK, one of Latin America's largest cybersecurity providers. SEK will build analyst-vetted intelligence and exposure validation into the managed security services it runs for enterprises in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru. OpenCTI supplies the intelligence layer, feeding threat context into the SOC workflows that SEK's analysts already run, rather than adding another queue for triage. OpenAEV handles the second half: testing whether the exposures a customer has identified can actually be exploited. Filigran's global State of Threat Management research found that only 38% of organizations use threat intelligence within a continuous, automated validation process, and 97% struggle to determine whether identified exposures are genuinely exploitable. "Organizations across Latin America don't need more threat data. They need threat intelligence built into the security services they already depend on," said Miguel Llerena, Regional Director, Latin America, Filigran. "SEK gives us regional reach through a single strategic partner with the expertise to turn intelligence into action." "This partnership with Filigran allows us to bring our customers the threat context they truly need to understand the adversaries operating across Latin America," said Omar Fuentes, Global Threat Intelligence Manager, SEK. "Providing the right context and prioritizing what matters is what allows customers to manage their exposure and respond to incidents faster and better." Filigran will be exhibiting at Mind The Sec 2026, September 15 - 17, at booth S03 in São Paulo, with live demos of the full XTM platform.
