SecurityHQ names Aaron Hambleton SVP of Product & Services

SecurityHQ announced the appointment of Aaron Hambleton as senior vice president of product and services. He will lead product and service innovation across the company’s portfolio, including ongoing development of the SHQ Response platform.

Hambleton joined SecurityHQ in 2020 and will oversee strategy for managed detection and response, threat intelligence, exposure management and security operations. The company said the role aims to accelerate a shift from reactive monitoring to an intelligence-led approach that produces measurable performance improvements for customers.

An industry professional with more than 12 years of cybersecurity experience, Hambleton has held frontline operational roles as well as advisory and regional leadership positions. At SecurityHQ he moved from operational security leadership into roles responsible for regional strategy, customer delivery and global advisory services, gaining experience in service delivery, customer success and operational performance.

SecurityHQ said Hambleton led teams supporting growth in the Middle East and Africa and helped establish technology partnerships intended to expand visibility and control through enterprise-grade platforms. The company credited his work across global threat intelligence, offensive security, exposure management and platform innovation as a factor in its recognition by IDC as a leading MDR provider in the Middle East for two consecutive years.

Feras Tappuni, SecurityHQ’s chief executive, called Hambleton “a sharp strategist who understands what customers need from a security partner and how global threat activity should inform the services built around them. He brings the operational experience, threat intelligence perspective, and judgment needed to connect internal signals with external risk, helping customers make faster decisions and achieve more holistic security outcomes.”

Hambleton added he will focus on reducing noise for security teams and on services that learn and improve over time. “Most security teams already have enough noise. What they need is a clearer way to understand which risks matter, what action to take, and how each decision improves their security over time,” he said. “My focus is on building services that connect intelligence, exposure, and response so that customers can close the gap between detection and action, while improving their security with every decision.”

In his new role, Hambleton will lead further development of the SHQ Response platform and the integration of intelligence and exposure management into response services. SecurityHQ said the stated goals include reducing false positives, speeding decision-making and improving security outcomes through repeatable, measurable processes.
