Having served as the U.S. federal chief information security officer (CISO) based out of the White House and on the White House National Security Council (NSC) as senior director for cybersecurity policy, Grant is uniquely positioned to assist clients in navigating the strategic, operational, and risk management needs of large-scale global technology environments.
As the most senior cybersecurity executive in the U.S. government, Grant enhanced the overall defensive cybersecurity posture of federal and critical infrastructure systems, leveraged the expertise of the U.S. intelligence community to identify and mitigate threats to federal cybersecurity, and led effective and efficient responses to federal incidents. He oversaw the most comprehensive review of the federal government's cybersecurity enterprise, implementing a cybersecurity risk assessment process across 100+ agencies. Grant worked with Congress to spearhead legislative initiatives, including the SECURE Technology Act, which established the Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC) to allow for a federal whole-of-government risk management approach to recommending the removal or exclusion of companies or products that pose too great a risk to the federal enterprise. He also served as the first chairperson of the interagency FASC, establishing criteria, processes, and procedures that will be used to evaluate the risk of products and services to the federal government. |
