RENO, Nev.: Crytica Security, based in Reno, Nevada, is pleased to announce that Kenneth “Ken” Bible, the recently retired Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the US Department of Homeland Security, has been elected to the company’s board of directors to serve for a two-year term. As a director, Mr. Bible will play a key role in steering the company’s vision and growth in the early detection of malware embedded in Internet of Things (IOT) devices and associated Operational Technologies (OT) deployed within public utility and mission critical systems.

Mr. Bible brings extraordinary cybersecurity industry knowledge and is viewed as an industry visionary regarding the emerging threats to mission critical infrastructure. Prior to his strategic role as the CISO of the US Department of Homeland Security, he spent many years in key leadership positions within the Department of Defense including serving as the Chief Information Officer & Deputy Director, Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4), U.S. Marine Corps, Chief Technology Officer, U.S. Marine Corps and several major technology roles within the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Command (SPAWAR).

“Crytica’s detection capability truly impresses me and, with a focus on minimizing footprint and resource consumption, the technology just fits beautifully in the challenging environments typical in operational technology systems. Using a probe size measuring in kilobytes, supporting Windows, Linux, MacOS and (most importantly) IoT environments, the platform excels at continuous detection of abnormal system activity. I am excited by the opportunity to help the organization continue to innovate and grow - particularly as threats continue to rise against our nation’s critical infrastructure,” said Kenneth Bible.

“We could not be more thrilled to have Ken join our board of directors,” said C. Lloyd Mahaffey, Executive Chairman of Crytica Security. “His extraordinary technology and industry experience paired with our leadership team’s patented technology is a powerful combination that will help forge the future of Crytica’s success.”
