Infoblox appoints Henrik Smith as Chief Information Security Officer

Infoblox, a platform for preemptive security and critical network services, announced the appointment of Henrik Smith as Chief Information Security Officer. The company described him as a former Amazon, Salesforce, and AWS security leader, brought in to strengthen security strategy and cyber resilience.

A hyperscaler-pedigree hire at a network-security vendor is a familiar pattern: security companies increasingly staff the CISO seat with operators who have run security at cloud scale, both for the operational muscle and for the credibility it lends in enterprise sales conversations.
