SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2025 – HackerOne, a global leader in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), today announced two strategic executive appointments to accelerate the company’s next phase of growth and innovation in the rapidly expanding threat exposure management category.

Previously, Furfaro served as Chief Business Officer at Rapid7, where she led teams across sales, customer success, channel partnerships, support, and operations, helping the company achieve significant, sustained growth. Most recently, she served as General Manager at DigitalOcean and has held senior leadership roles at Allaire, Macromedia, and Adobe, where she built global programs that strengthened customer engagement and partner enablement.
Leidwinger joins HackerOne with extensive experience leading cybersecurity marketing teams and scaling global software businesses. Most recently, she served as Chief Marketing Officer at Secureworks, where she oversaw all marketing and led the shift from a managed service provider to a software platform company. In addition to her cybersecurity leadership, she brings deep industry expertise in large language models and AI, grounded in her work on IBM’s Big Data team. She brings a strong customer and partner focus, ensuring marketing sharpens value messaging and drives measurable performance across the demand engine.
“HackerOne is redefining how organizations stay secure in an increasingly autonomous, AI-driven threat landscape,” said Furfaro. “I’m excited to join a company that pairs deep human expertise with cutting-edge AI to deliver meaningful customer impact. Building on HackerOne’s strong partner ecosystem will be central to expanding our reach and empowering more organizations to proactively manage their risk.”
“HackerOne is entering a new stage of growth as AI-led cyber threats reshape the landscape,” said Leidwinger. “Security leaders need to secure faster, prove risk reduction, and adapt to an increasingly autonomous threat environment. I’m energized to elevate HackerOne’s customer and partner value message and show why Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), paired with the unique combination of AI and human adversarial expertise, drives stronger results than anything else on the market today.”
“Stephanie and Stacy join HackerOne at a pivotal moment for our company and the cybersecurity industry,” said Kara Sprague, CEO of HackerOne. “As AI reshapes the threat landscape and modern defense, Stephanie’s experience scaling global revenue organizations and Stacy’s leadership in brand and growth marketing will strengthen every part of our go-to-market engine. Together, they will accelerate growth by delivering our full Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) value proposition to more enterprise customers.”
