Skyhawk Security has appointed Jason Schaaf as Chief Revenue Officer, charging him with leading global sales, marketing, and channel partnerships for the company's Agentic AI-powered Autonomous Purple Team platform for cloud security. Schaaf brings over 25 years of technology sales experience and a track record of scaling cybersecurity companies, including guiding CyberX through its growth phase and eventual acquisition by Microsoft.
Why it matters
Skyhawk is positioning its Autonomous Purple Team platform, enhanced with Agentic AI capabilities, as a market-defining solution that can continuously validate security controls across the cloud stack - a shift from traditional cloud security tools that rely on static policies or reactive alerting. Schaaf's appointment signals Skyhawk's intent to scale this AI-driven approach and compete aggressively in the evolving cloud security market.
The details
Skyhawk's Agentic AI-powered Autonomous Purple Team platform aims to autonomously simulate attacker behavior and validate security controls continuously, rather than waiting for misconfigurations or breaches to surface. This is a departure from traditional cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud detection and response (CDR) tools. Schaaf's mandate is to turn this technical promise into sustained revenue growth by building a 'world-class channel ecosystem' and aligning Skyhawk's value proposition with board-level security outcomes.
- Skyhawk recently rolled out Agentic AI capabilities into its Autonomous Purple Team platform.
- Schaaf was appointed as Skyhawk's Chief Revenue Officer in February 2026.
