Ontinue Names Moritz Mann as CEO to Drive AI-Powered Security Operations
Ontinue appointed Moritz Mann as Chief Executive Officer on April 16, 2026. Mann, who spent over two decades at the company, most recently served as Chief Strategy Officer and will now lead the cybersecurity vendor's push into AI-driven managed security operations.
Mann's appointment reflects Ontinue's strategy to expand its Agentic SOC offering-an AI-native approach that pairs human expertise with intelligent automation for security operations centers. The company is positioning this model as a response to enterprises seeking scalable, AI-led security solutions.
As CEO, Mann will focus on accelerating product innovation, improving customer outcomes, and expanding Ontinue's international presence. The company is working with Microsoft to distribute these capabilities.
Background and Experience

At Ontinue, Mann shaped the company's strategic direction since January 2023. His appointment from within signals the board's confidence in his understanding of both the company's technical direction and market needs.
