Rubrik hires former Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

Rubrik appoints Chris Krebs as Chair of its new CISO Advisory Board. Previously Krebs was in the Department of Homeland Security in 2017 after several years on Microsoft’s U.S. Government Affairs team, where he led the company’s U.S. policy work on cybersecurity and technology issues. He also is a non-resident senior fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center and a senior Newmark fellow in cybersecurity at The Aspen Institute.

At Rubrik, Krebs will create and lead a strategic CISO advisory board to help private, and public sector organizations tackle the unprecedented growth of cyberattacks, including ransomware.

It is assumed that the members of the Rubrik Advisory Board will be directors of leading cybersecurity companies and organizations in the United States. Participants will be selected based on their industry experience, current position, and contribution to the development of cybersecurity.
