Dan Antilley named Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at MetLife

Dan Antilley has been named CISO at insurance giant MetLife. He most recently worked at NCR Atleos as Chief Security Officer, and much of his career was spent at Bank of America.

According to MetLife, the company added two leaders to its Global Technology and Operations organization. At the time of the announcement, MetLife said, Tamar Shapiro was joining as its Chief Data and Analytics Officer as Antilley took up the security role. The company says Antilley will work from its Global Technology Hub in Cary, NC, a site with more than 2,600 MetLife employees.

SecurityWeek reports that at Bank of America, Antilley led the company's incident response program, cyber forensics and cybersecurity operations. MetLife says that at Bank of America he also created and led the Third-Party Assessment, Application Security and Insider Threat programs. The Business Journals lists a bachelor's degree from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX, under his education. MetLife says Antilley has led partnerships with the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance and the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center. Antilley tells MetLife that mentoring has played a big part in his career and that in one year he directly mentored approximately 50 people. Antilley tells MetLife that, like many people, he did not set out at first to build a career in cybersecurity.

MetLife, Inc., which trades on the NYSE as MET, provides asset management, employee benefits, annuities and insurance through its subsidiaries and affiliates, the company says. The company was founded in 1868 and says it operates in more than 40 markets around the world.
