As the institute’s Managing Director, she focused on preparing businesses for cyber threats. Moreover, her service as an Executive Director for President Obama’s Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity, along with her time at the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, further amplifies her proficiency in cyber risk management.
