New appointments strengthen Keeper’s go-to-market team following recognition as the second fastest-growing security software company globally

CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform, today announces the appointment of Jessica Krowel as Senior Vice President of North America Sales, Private Sector, and Bill Grabner as Senior Vice President, Public Sector. Both will support Tim Strickland as Chief Revenue Officer, as Keeper continues to strengthen and scale its go-to-market leadership.  These key talent acquisitions come on the heels of Gartner® recognizing Keeper as the second fastest-growing competitor in its Market Share Analysis: Security Software, Worldwide, 2025 report.

Krowel brings almost 20 years of go-to-market leadership in identity and access management. She spent 14 years at CyberArk, rising through the ranks to Global Vice President of Inside Sales and Chief of Staff to the Go-to-Market (“GTM”) organization, and most recently served as Vice President of Global Sales Development at Delinea. Grabner brings more than two decades of federal and public sector sales leadership, most recently as Senior Vice President and General Manager at JMA Wireless, with prior leadership roles at Ribbon Communications, Cisco and BroadSoft.

Krowel and Grabner will support and scale Keeper’s GTM teams across key regions to address demand across the midmarket segment, large-scale enterprises and Federal organizations. Last year, Keeper grew its revenue 53.4% in 2025, more than three times the security software market’s overall average of 15.5%, ranking second only to Google in Gartner’s analysis. The $111 billion worldwide security software market grew steadily last year, and Gartner attributed the top performers’ growth in part to platform consolidation and organizations replacing fragmented point solutions with unified platforms.

“The cybersecurity market is seeing an unprecedented inflection point with the advent and widespread adoption of AI technologies,” said Tim Strickland, Chief Revenue Officer of Keeper Security. “With Jessica and Bill onboard, Keeper is poised to continue accelerating its rocketing growth as organizations seek identity security solutions that harness the power of AI to protect against existing human risks and emerging agentic AI threats.”

Keeper’s flagship identity security platform unifies password and passkey management, privileged session management, secrets management and endpoint privilege management within a single cloud-native, zero-knowledge architecture. The platform incorporates KeeperAI®, which delivers real-time threat detection across privileged sessions, and extends governance to AI agents, machines and non-human identities alongside human users. Both Krowel and Grabner will be responsible for expanding adoption of Keeper in their respective markets, as organizations consolidate fragmented identity tools onto a single solution that provides superior visibility, security and control.

Keeper’s own 2026 research sheds light on the demand for unified identity security, as only 36% of organizations report having a privileged access management solution fully deployed, and 64% still lack fully consolidated privileged access governance. Most of the market hasn’t solved this problem yet.

“Identity has become the center of enterprise risk and governance given that human and non-human identities are proliferating faster than most organizations can secure and manage them,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “We are thrilled to have Jessica and Bill on our team given their superb knowledge and expertise in helping organizations secure and govern all identities in the modern era.”

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As smart heated clothing gains broader adoption, consumers are paying closer attention to the safety and reliability of the technology behind these products. Wulcea, a brand specializing in graphene-powered heated apparel, combines its flexible GrapheneNano™ heating technology with documented safety compliance and durability testing for its heating components and battery systems.

“Trust in smart heated apparel goes beyond warmth—it comes down to confidence in battery safety and heating element reliability,” said John C, Founder of Wulcea. “Our goal is to give users peace of mind through certified technical standards.”

Advanced Graphene Heating Elements Supported by Global Standards

At the core of Wulcea’s thermal architecture is its GrapheneNano™ heating technology. Engineered to eliminate garment stiffness, Wulcea integrates flexible graphene elements that deliver balanced warmth across key upper-body zones while preserving natural garment drape and full freedom of movement.

Wulcea supports its heating components with applicable compliance documentation for major markets. These include CE and FCC compliance documentation addressing relevant electrical and electromagnetic compatibility requirements, as well as PSE compliance for applicable products in Japan. RoHS compliance further addresses restrictions on specified hazardous substances in applicable electrical and electronic components.

Founded in 2000, NIDS develops and manufactures environmental sensors and air quality management solutions. According to the company, it has supplied more than 10 million sensors cumulatively to domestic and international companies, including Dyson, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor. Drawing on this supply track record, the company intends to showcase its precision sensing technology and mass-production capabilities to overseas customers.

Its main products include particulate matter sensors, optical gas sensors based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, composite environmental sensors, and electronic nose sensor modules. The particulate matter sensors measure PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, while the gas sensor lineup targets carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and other gases. The electronic nose is used for detecting everyday odors, gas leaks, and fires. The company said it designs the core components required for air quality measurement in-house and has a system in place to mass-produce 5 million units annually.

The area where NIDS will expand development and supply going forward is next-generation composite sensor modules. The company has been pursuing a sensor business that responds to industry-specific demand in home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC, and is now concentrating its capabilities on markets such as robotics, industrial safety, and odor detection based on this technology. Building on its experience supplying individual components, NIDS plans to continue developing and supplying, on a B2B basis, modules that handle multiple types of environmental data.

The company will also highlight its sensor product lineup and its newly developed ultra-compact MEMS sensor technology at the exhibition. NIDS plans to introduce its optical and gas sensor lineup along with examples of their application in actual air quality management systems. By explaining both the measurement functions of its components and its experience operating sensors for finished-product services, the company aims to broaden the scope of partnership discussions.

NIDS explained that, because it owns its precision sensors, it can control sensor sensitivity and tune algorithms to suit the system in which they are applied. Drawing on this technical operating experience, the company plans to pursue partnerships with customers and to promote its business capabilities extending from sensor components to air quality and odor management and industrial safety management.

NIDS will also leverage its existing branch network in its overseas market development. Through its overseas bases in the United States, Japan, and China, the company plans to widen its touchpoints with buyers and seek new supply opportunities in conjunction with its CES participation. Its goal is to generate export results by combining exhibition participation with its local networks.

The company intends to keep expanding the global supply of sensor components as a core pillar of its business. Building on the supply experience accumulated in home appliances and automotive, it will broaden its partners to robotics, HVAC, and smart buildings, and respond to industry-specific air quality measurement demand through the development of next-generation modules.

“We plan to continue expanding the development and B2B supply of next-generation composite sensor modules needed across a range of industries, including home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC,” NIDS said.
