Yavil brings more than two decades of finance leadership across private equity-backed and publicly traded technology companies, with a track record of scaling operations, building and operating internationally, executing M&A strategies, and driving profitable growth. He joins Blackpoint at a pivotal moment as the company accelerates international expansion, scales its CompassOne platform, and pursues strategic acquisitions. Yavil joins Blackpoint from Netwrix, a TA Associates and Centerbridge Partners-backed data security and identity security platform, where he served as President and CFO.

"It's a privilege to partner with Gagan, the executive team, and a group whose intelligence-grade roots form the foundation of everything we do. My immediate focus will be getting to know the Blackpoint team and building deep relationships with our customers and partners. What inspires me most is the mission at the center of all of it: keeping our partners safe in a threat landscape that never stops evolving." Yavil's appointment builds on a series of leadership investments at Blackpoint, including the naming of Gagan Singh as CEO in June 2025, with founder Jon Murchison transitioning to Executive Chairman to focus on product innovation and partner engagement. With a leadership team drawing from the NSA, McAfee, Norton, and Netwrix, Blackpoint is building the depth to help its customers and partners win the fight against cyber adversaries, and the operational infrastructure to scale its platform, expand globally, and deliver better security outcomes to every organization it serves. About Blackpoint Cyber Blackpoint Cyber was founded by former NSA cybersecurity experts with one purpose: to win the unfair fight. Blackpoint delivers Managed Detection and Response (MDR) through a 24/7 SOC that combines detection at AI speed with elite human expertise, giving organizations real defense against sophisticated threat actors. Its CompassOne platform unifies identity, endpoint, and cloud into a single context-rich environment, enabling decisive response before attacks escalate. We measure security by threats stopped, not alerts generated.

Netwrix has announced new capabilities in its 1Secure platform to provide visibility and governance over how AI agents and assistants, including Microsoft Copilot, access sensitive data. The updates address growing concerns that AI systems can expose confidential information by using existing identity permissions. The platform combines identity context with data discovery and access monitoring across hybrid environments. New features in Netwrix Access Analyzer identify excessive permissions and risky identity relationships, whilst expanded discovery capabilities help locate sensitive data across collaboration platforms and cloud environments. The platform also detects suspicious activity from machine identities and service accounts used by AI agents. Netwrix Auditor, now available as a SaaS offering, provides Copilot activity monitoring, readiness assessments and audit trails for AI interactions to support governance and regulatory compliance.
