From CNET: Jeanette Manfra, the US Department of Homeland Security's former chief cybersecurity official, will be joining Google Cloud in January.
Manfra led the DHS' efforts to secure the 2018 midterm elections, helping coordinate cybersecurity protections for local voting officials across the United States. News of Manfra's move to Google was first reported by CyberScoop and confirmed by CNET.
"She will lend her considerable experience in cybersecurity toward helping our customers, particularly those in regulated industries, build and maintain the highest levels of security and trust into their technical infrastructure and services," a Google Cloud spokesperson said in a statement. The DHS' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) declined to comment.
Manfra will join Google as the global director of security and compliance, as Google Cloud looks to launch a new Office of the CISO team, the company said, using the shorthand for chief information security officer.
She's expected to start Jan. 6, according to a statement from a Google Cloud spokesperson.
