The Stack reports that Anduril is looking for a new chief information security officer after Joe McCaffrey announced he is stepping away from the role. The article describes Anduril as a $61 billion defence startup and says it was founded by Palmer Luckey and others in 2017.
According to the article, McCaffrey shared late Tuesday that he was leaving the company after seven years, including three years as CISO, for a new, as yet undisclosed, role. The article says he posted on social media that his team had "helped build the next generation of defence".
