Francisco Donoso Promoted to Chief Product and Technology Officer
Expanded role includes responsibility for product strategy, product development, engineering, and IT for the rapidly growing cyber security solutions company.
24 March, 2025 – West Hartford, CT – Beazley Security today announced that Francisco Donoso has been promoted to Chief Product and Technology Officer. The move reflects the company’s increased focus on defining and delivering the products, services, and solutions needed to fully realize the promise of Full Spectrum Cyber – a central tenet of Beazley Security’s cyber risk management offerings.
After joining Beazley Security as CTO in 2023, Donoso immediately went to work on three primary objectives: deliver an advanced Managed eXtended Detection & Response (MXDR) service; modernize the company’s infrastructure to support thousands of global clients; and launching a world class research team. Since then, Beazley Security has more than quadrupled in size, with staff, operations, and clients in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, and Spain, Singapore.
“Francisco has an expansive background in cyber security and has been a key part of the Beazley Security transformation story over the past 20 months,” said Alton Kizziah, Beazley Security CEO. “He helped define a long-term product and service strategy – one that sets Beazley Security apart from more traditional cyber security solutions providers. I’m excited to have him further apply his industry vision and innate ability to deliver as we continue to conceive new solutions for our clients.”
Within a year, Donoso and his team designed, developed, and launched an MXDR service that combines a powerful XDR platform to enable mass data ingestion with feature rich analyst tooling for threat hunting, inspection, and analysis. Adoption for the MXDR service increased nearly 400 percent since its launch, which can be partially attributed to Donoso’s passion for the technology and personal evangelization. He regularly speaks at industry and client conferences and on podcasts and webinars, where he advocates for simplifying service terms to increase visibility to threats while providing clients more transparency to their security operations services.
Donoso also led the development of an intuitive service delivery portal, VERACIS™, to provide clients transparency into their security operations. Since its original release, Donoso has led expanding VERACIS features to include soon to be released support for Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) and ongoing exposure management functionality, third-party risk management, as well as features specifically designed for Beazley insurance clients.
“I’ve been building products and services for cybersecurity companies my entire career,” said Donoso. “What I find most exciting about Beazley Security is how we’re able to operationalize data gathered during thousands of incidents annually to build solutions that meaningfully reduce risk. That’s differentiated and high value for clients.”
In total last year, the company’s incident management and technical response teams supported clients with more than 5,000 events in 50 countries, resolving all manner of events, ranging from Business Email Compromise (BEC) to ransomware, and zero-day attacks. During this same period, Beazley Security Labs investigated more than 32 emerging vulnerabilities, publishing informational advisories to guide clients on mitigating risks.
