Former DHS Cyber Official Joins Information Security Forum

Greg Garcia

The Information Security Forum, a leading authority on information security, has announced that Greg Garcia has joined ISF as Strategic Advisor for North America. Garcia is the former DHS Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Communications, serving from 2006-2008.

In his new role, Garcia will help to support the effort to bring more companies in the US and Canada into ISF membership. He will target companies in the financial, healthcare, retail, telecom and IT sectors. He will also look to raise awareness about ISF and develop new relationships with government agencies and industry groups.

“While many major U.S. organizations are already ISF Members, I am eager to see more leading North American corporations contribute to and benefit from the ISF’s unmatched portfolio of research, security tools and methodologies for advanced information security risk management,” Garcia said.

“During my tenure at the Department of Homeland Security, I saw first-hand the power that market driven security standards can have on a nation’s ability to neutralize cyber threats and adversaries,” he said. “With a global presence, the ISF is ideally positioned to drive best practice information security into our management infrastructures.”
