According to the company, he will also counsel customer organisations as they deal with complex security challenges and make decisions about their security programmes.

The company says Bruce has more than 25 years of cyber security experience and has held CISO and senior security leadership positions at financial institutions and technology companies. According to the company, his background includes advising boards on cyber security strategy, managing global security operations and building security programmes.
