Former Placer.ai sales leader brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling enterprise revenue organizations across cybersecurity and technology.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 3, 2026 – Aurascape, the enterprise AI security company, today announced the appointment of Jim Walsh as Chief Revenue Officer. Walsh will lead Aurascape’s global revenue organization, expand customer and partner relationships, and accelerate enterprise adoption of its AI security platform worldwide.

The appointment follows a year of tremendous growth for Aurascape, driven by demand from Fortune 500 companies in highly regulated industries and other enterprises seeking to embrace AI without exposing sensitive data, introducing new security risks, or slowing innovation. Across hundreds of thousands of users worldwide, Aurascape helps enterprises safely accelerate AI adoption by securing every interaction across the AI employees use and the applications and agents organizations build and buy.

“AI traffic is rapidly becoming the core of enterprise traffic, and Aurascape is the security layer organizations can rely on to adopt it safely,” said Moinul Khan, co-founder and CEO of Aurascape. “Over the last year, we have proven that enterprises do not have to choose between AI innovation and security. Jim has a proven track record of building and scaling high-performing revenue organizations through major technology shifts. His leadership will help us extend our momentum and establish Aurascape as the foundational layer of enterprise security for the AI era.”

Walsh most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales at Placer.ai. He previously served as Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Skycure, led Americas sales at MobileIron, and held sales leadership positions at Symantec and Vontu. During his tenure at MobileIron, Walsh helped grow the company’s revenue organization in the years leading to its initial public offering.

“AI is moving into every part of the enterprise, from employee productivity and software development to autonomous agents that act on behalf of the business,” said Walsh. “Security cannot be an afterthought or a barrier to adoption. Aurascape has the technology, customer results, and team to define this market. I could not be more excited to help scale the company, deepen our customer and partner relationships, and bring this foundational security layer to enterprises around the world.”

As Chief Revenue Officer, Walsh will oversee Aurascape’s global sales and broader revenue strategy, including the continued development of its enterprise go-to-market organization, strategic partnerships, and customer relationships.

Aurascape provides real-time visibility and control across the AI employees use and the AI applications and agents organizations build. The platform discovers sanctioned and unsanctioned AI, decodes conversations and user intent, protects sensitive data, prevents AI-specific threats, and enforces policy inside the interaction. Aurascape extends these controls across everywhere AI is used, including browsers, desktop applications, coding assistants, copilots, command-line tools, and agentic workflows.

Unlike security platforms designed for traditional web and SaaS traffic, Aurascape was engineered specifically for the protocols AI uses and its conversational, multimodal, and increasingly autonomous nature. This allows enterprises to increase AI adoption and productivity while maintaining the visibility, control, and evidence required by security, compliance, and governance teams.
