Archit Lohokare, co‑founder and CEO of Eos, was appointed Chief Executive Officer of AppViewX effective March 19, 2026, and Dino DiMarino stepped down to “pursue other opportunities.” (appviewx.com)) Kashyap Ivaturi, also an Eos co‑founder, will join AppViewX as Chief Technology Officer while Madhu Venkatarajan will move from CTO to Chief Engineering Officer and General Manager of India Operations, roles the press release ties to scaling engineering and RSAC 2026 briefings. (appviewx.com)) AppViewX pointed to analyst recognition as part of its positioning, citing placement as a Leader in IDC’s January 28, 2026 MarketScape for Certificate Lifecycle Management and being named an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole’s December 2, 2025 Non‑Human Identity Management Leadership Compass. (appviewx.com 1) (appviewx.com 2)) WideField’s March 19, 2026 business‑wire announcement confirmed that Cisco Investments joined its Series A and that John Hurley, Chief Revenue Officer of Optiv, has been added to WideField’s board effective immediately. (markets.financialcontent.com)) WideField described new product capabilities that map the “complete identity security lifecycle” — identities at rest, in motion, and in use — and said the platform now models active sessions and detects threats for autonomous AI agents. (markets.financialcontent.com)) Janey Hoe, Vice President at Cisco Investments, is quoted framing the stake as part of “building a unified Identity Intelligence layer” for non‑human and agentic AI identities, language WideField uses to position this funding as strategic to closing post‑login visibility gaps.
