Identity-verification company Socure appointed Mark Carter as Chief Information Security Officer, announced in June 2026; day-level precision has not been established from available coverage.

An identity company's CISO defends the very dataset — verified identities — whose compromise would be existential. Few security seats have a tighter coupling between breach risk and business model.

According to the company, Carter will lead Socure's enterprise-wide strategy for information technology, governance, cyber risk, compliance, security and resilience. The company says he will work with legal, engineering, product, operations, compliance and customer-facing teams and executive leadership to enhance security and responsible data practices while also accelerating AI innovation.

The company describes Carter as an executive across product, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, engineering, information technology, risk and compliance, with more than 25 years of leadership experience.

The company says Carter has also advised executive teams and boards on enterprise security strategy, compliance, operational resilience and cyber risk.

The company says it serves more than 3,000 customers in 190+ countries across e-commerce, telecom, healthcare, gaming, government and financial services.

Socure reported total ARR of more than $340 million at the close of Q1 2026, with 62% year-over-year total new ARR growth, according to the release. According to Socure's Q3 2026 results announcement on Business Wire, Summit Partners led a growth investment during the quarter that valued Socure at $5.2 billion.

Vimeo appointed Mark Carter as its first Chief Information Security Officer. Carter will oversee security, compliance and risk management at the video platform company. He previously held senior security roles at Salesforce, Tesla, Amazon Web Services and PayPal.

Carter has 25 years of technical and SaaS experience, according to the release. At Salesforce he served as Executive Vice President of Security, and at Tesla he was CISO, the release says. According to the release, Carter was Director of Payment Platforms at PayPal and General Manager at Amazon Web Services.
