He is leaving the government after a nearly 27-year career that includes his current positions as U.S. CISO in the Office of Management and Budget and as co-chair of the Federal CISO Council.

His previous roles included senior director of cybersecurity policy at the National Security Council and senior adviser to the Office of Personnel Management director.
