Forcepoint today announced John Sorensen has joined the company as Senior Vice President of Americas Sales. He will focus on field execution, strengthening partner engagement and aligning closely with customer priorities while reshaping the Americas sales organization for how data is protected today in the AI era. Sorensen will report to Rick Hanson, President of Go-to-Market.
Organizations face a widening visibility-to-control gap as sensitive data moves fluidly across tools, teams and formats — generated by AI automation, shared in documents and collaboration apps, or pulled into analyses far from where it began. Traditional tools may detect a risky action forming but often cannot respond quickly or accurately enough to prevent a breach or compliance failure. As data becomes both a catalyst for innovation and a growing source of exposure, customers need clearer, more immediate ways to intervene, not simply observing when risk emerges.
Forcepoint’s AI-native data security approach closes that gap by helping customers identify sensitive data in context, understand how it is being used, evaluate intent and risk signals, and automate protection within a unified, single-policy framework. Delivered through Forcepoint’s Data Security Cloud, recent advances in deep discovery, classification, risk scoring and continuous protection enable organizations to translate visibility into accurate and precise control across modern enterprises and government environments.
Sorensen brings more than three decades of security and technology leadership to Forcepoint. He most recently served as Vice President of Global Sales for Data Security at Entrust. He also brings prior Forcepoint leadership experience, having previously served as the company’s Vice President of Global Sales Strategy and Execution —perspective that strengthens continuity at a time when customers are reassessing data protection. Earlier in his career, he held executive roles at Symantec, RSA Security and McAfee, with responsibilities spanning revenue strategy, channel expansion and leading high-performing sales teams.
Security leaders and analysts researching actionable strategies to manage AI-driven data risks can access on-demand sessions from AWARE 2025, Forcepoint’s annual virtual user conference on AI and data risk.
