Richard Hosgood Joins Axoflow as Director of Engineering: A Deep Dive into His Security Expertise

Richard Hosgood has joined Axoflow as Director of Engineering.

He brings a career built across some specific and complementary corners of the security stack - PAM and privileged access deep in the One Identity and Safeguard world, DLP and insider threat at Forcepoint, content disarm and reconstruction at Votiro. Four years as Principal Systems Engineer at One Identity gave him sustained technical depth in identity security; before that, he was running North America engineering at Votiro and speaking at major security conferences on threat analysis. The profile that emerges is someone who understands how security data is generated, what makes it noisy, and where it breaks down in practice.

The move to Axoflow is personal as much as professional. He worked alongside founder Balázs Scheidler - creator of syslog-ng - and Neil Boyd at Balabit years ago. Getting the chance to build with that team again, on what is essentially the next generation of security data infrastructure, is the kind of reunion that doesn't happen often.

The problem Axoflow is solving - AI-driven log classification and parsing at the source to cut SIEM costs and improve signal quality - is one every security team knows intimately. Having an engineer who's lived on both sides of that data problem is the right foundation.

Welcome back to the build, Richard - some reunions are worth the wait.
