Cloud Infrastructure Visionary Sean Charnock Joins Acium’s Board of Directors

SoftLayer Co-founder and Former FireEye Executive Brings Entrepreneurial Vision to Enterprise Browser Security Pioneer

Miami, FL — Acium, the pioneer in enterprise browser security, today announced that Sean Charnock, co-founder of SoftLayer Technologies (acquired by IBM) and former SVP at FireEye, has joined the company’s Board of Directors to help shape strategic direction and accelerate market adoption of Unified Browser Security™ technology.

“Sean’s rare blend of entrepreneurial success and technical depth makes him an invaluable addition to our Board of Directors,” said Jon Lieberman, CEO and Co-Founder of Acium. “His experience growing SoftLayer into a cloud infrastructure powerhouse and his cybersecurity insights from FireEye will help guide our strategy as we transform how enterprises secure their browser-first workplaces.”

As browsers become the primary workspace for business, traditional security tools are falling short. Acium’s patent-pending Unified Browser Security™ technology transforms any browser into a secure, managed workspace—delivering zero-trust security, complete visibility, and comprehensive management in one platform.

Charnock’s expertise spans AI, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and telecommunications – a diverse background uniquely suited to Acium’s mission. His entrepreneurial journey includes co-founding SoftLayer Technologies, which IBM acquired for $2 billion in 2013, showcasing his ability to build and scale disruptive technologies. At FireEye, he played a key role during the acquisition of threat intelligence pioneer iSIGHT Partners, gaining critical insights into security innovation and market consolidation.

“The browser has become the central workspace for today’s businesses, yet remains dangerously exposed,” said Charnock. “After two decades in technology and security, I’ve learned to spot the intersection of urgent market needs and transformative innovation. Acium recognizes that securing this frontier requires an entirely new approach – one that protects organizations without disrupting productivity.”

As a Board member, Charnock will contribute to Acium’s corporate governance, strategic planning, and investor relations. His extensive experience with high-growth technology companies positions him to provide crucial guidance as Acium scales operations, pursues market opportunities, and establishes leadership in the emerging browser security category.
