Global cybersecurity leader Forcepoint has appointed Archie Jackson as its new Data Security Strategist for Customer Success in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
The role is designed to help organizations manage the escalating challenge of protecting sensitive data across fragmented cloud and AI-driven environments, where traditional security controls often lag.
Jackson, a two-decade veteran in cybersecurity and cloud transformation, will work directly with customers to translate security strategy into practical outcomes. He will advise on modern data security architectures, improve technical execution, and guide the adoption of Forcepoint’s AI-native capabilities.
“Archie’s role is about helping customers adopt strategies that continuously understand risk and adapt protection as data moves,” said Bjorn Engelhardt, SVP Sales & General Manager, Asia Pacific at Forcepoint.
A respected voice among APAC CIOs and CISOs, Jackson is a CIO100 Hall of Fame inductee and has received multiple industry awards. His focus will be on providing clarity for businesses struggling with complex, evolving data risk.
“My goal is to help customers cut through complexity — connecting strategy, architecture, and implementation so data security becomes something they can trust and act on,” said Archie Jackson.
The appointment reinforces Forcepoint’s commitment to partnering with regional security leaders, moving customers from reactive controls toward adaptive, self-aware data security programs.
