IRONSCALES, an email security platform serving more than 18,000 organizations worldwide, has appointed Laura Beaulieu as Chief Marketing Officer. Beaulieu will lead brand development, demand generation, and go-to-market strategy as the company expands its agentic AI email security platform.
The appointment will also bolster IRONSCALES’ goal to create an AI-first marketing department. This is in light of the fact that cybercriminals have been using AI to conduct very complex cyberattacks.
Beaulieu Brings B2B SaaS Growth Experience
Beaulieu brings more than 15 years of experience in B2B SaaS growth leadership. Most recently, she served as Vice President of Marketing at Holistiplan. During her tenure, she doubled the company’s user base from 25,000 to 50,000 within 18 months.
Additionally, she founded GrowthLoops.io, where she has trained thousands of marketers to use Claude Code and AI agents. She also regularly speaks about AI-native marketing strategies.
“Email is where most breaches begin, and it is rarely where they end,” said Beaulieu. “Adversaries now use AI to earn trust with one convincing message, then follow it with a deepfake executive on a Teams call or a quiet account takeover, waiting for the right moment to strike. In the AI era, trust has to be proven in every message, every call, and every meeting. IRONSCALES protects the moments that matter, from the inbox to the meeting, so people can trust what they read, see, and hear. With IRONSCALES at their side, security leaders can face what comes next, knowing their people are protected. Telling that story boldly, and building a brand worthy of it, is why I’m here.”
IRONSCALES Expands Its Leadership Team
Laura Beaulieu joins the senior leadership team as IRONSCALES enters its next growth phase. Recent appointments include Chief Operating Officer Steve McKenzie, Chief Strategy Officer Steve Malone, & Senior Vice President of Research & Development Amit Bluman.
“IRONSCALES has always pushed the edge of what AI can do in security, from machine learning powered by our global community to agentic capabilities that anticipate, investigate, and act on their own,” said Steve McKenzie, COO of IRONSCALES. “Laura brings the strategic vision to make IRONSCALES the defining name in that story, and to bring that innovation to market with the vision, ambition, and conviction this moment calls for.”
Agentic AI Addresses Evolving Phishing Threats
Generative AI is currently being utilized by cybercriminals to conduct research on their targets, mimic executives’ voices, & initiate personalized phishing attacks. Such techniques pose serious challenges for existing secure email gateways. Based on research conducted by Osterman Research, 88% of businesses had a security breach within the last year.
The company has developed agentic AI to enhance its cybersecurity strategies. The Red Teaming Agent predicts attacks based on the particular organization, while the Phishing SOC Agent examines any attack incident. In addition, the Phishing Simulation Agent trains employees to counter any targeted attack. In addition, IRONSCALES Deepfake Protection authenticates identity through Microsoft Teams Meetings.
