Stephen Garcia was named Chief Information Security Officer at BreachRx, the incident-response readiness company, as announced the week of June 8, 2026.
An incident-response vendor's CISO is a product spokesperson by default — the company sells preparation for exactly the scenarios its security chief is hired to prevent. The same month, BreachRx added former Google Cloud CISO Phil Venables to its board, a notable concentration of security-leadership pedigree for a company of its size.
According to the release, Garcia will lead the internal security program at BreachRx and help shape how its platform enables organizations to carry out governed incident response across the enterprise to complex AI-driven threats that are accelerating. CSO Online reports that Garcia will help advance the security strategy and customer trust of BreachRx.
According to the release, Garcia has spent over two decades building and leading security programs in a range of industries. SecurityWeek reports that Garcia previously held leadership positions at Napster, FanDuel, ConsenSys, Johnson Controls, Broadridge Financial, BNP Paribas and Western Union. The release says his background covers identity, governance and enterprise security, as well as the cross-functional realities of handling incidents with operational, legal, regulatory and reputational consequences. The page says Garcia specializes in program development, incident response and working with organizations at pivotal moments in their security journey. BreachRx says Garcia holds the CISM and CISSP certifications and serves as teaching assistant on a graduate cybersecurity course at Harvard University.
The release says the platform sets clear ownership, supports defensible decision-making in real time and orchestrates cross-functional workflows. BreachRx says it helps organizations handle cyber incidents as enterprise-wide risk events through Cybersecurity Incident Response Management.
