Technology is one of the biggest threats to our intelligence systems and one of the biggest opportunities.

We are moving to a more proactive stance, ... providing periodic pieces of information to better secure systems and address known vulnerabilities before they fall victim to various types of cyber attack.

We're at this historic point where the intelligence community is going through a transformation, and technology can represent the greatest threat or the greatest opportunity.

What we don't want to do is tell the bad guys this vulnerability is out there, and not have a work-around available to keep them from exploiting it.

Some might consider my career schizophrenic, but now it looks like it was all planned. It feels like a natural career progression for me, having worked for start-ups, invested in start-ups, worked in government and having a personal interest in national security.
