Illumio, the Adaptive Security Company, has appointed Nathaniel Gleicher as its new Head of Cybersecurity Strategy.
Gleicher
will lead Illumio's public cybersecurity thought leadership and policy
engagements, as well as oversee the applicability of Illumio's adaptive
security technology to its customers' cybersecurity strategies.
"We
welcome Nathaniel from the White House to the Illumio team," said Alan
Cohen, Chief Commercial Officer at Illumio. "Nathaniel has the rare
combination of deep expertise in cybersecurity policy and hands-on
software development that makes him an invaluable resource to our
customers and partners."
Commmenting
on his appointment, Gleicher said: "One of the fundamental challenges
we face in cybersecurity is that attackers are faster, more agile and
more adaptable than defenders. The Illumio Adaptive Security Platform
gives us the opportunity to change that -- to rebalance the playing
field between defenders and attackers. It empowers organizations to finally retake control of the geography within their data centers and clouds from attackers.
"Before
joining Illumio from the White House, Nathaniel prosecuted domestic and
international cybercrime at the U.S. Department of Justice, built
custom e-commerce and database solutions and advised the South Korean
government on technology policy.
