SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) management platform Cleanshelf, has appointed Michael Lines as their new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Head of Product Security.

"As companies accelerate their move to both the cloud and SaaS applications, understanding what SaaS products they have and how they are being used is vital to managing this new dimension of risk for companies," said Michael Lines, CISO of Cleanshelf. "I am excited by the opportunity to not only demonstrate Cleanshelf's strong commitment to security but also to help evolve Cleanshelf's services in ways that will help companies better identify and manage the information risk that SaaS products can bring."
