Author's Biography
Theresa Payton remains the cyber security and intelligence operations expert to whom people and companies turn to strengthen their privacy and cyber security. Named by IFSEC Global as the fourth among the top 50 of the world’s cyber security professionals and by Security Magazine as one of the top 25 Most Influential People in Security, she is one of the USA’s most respected authorities on security and intelligence operations. The first female to serve as White House Chief Information Officer, Payton oversaw IT operations for the President and his staff from 2006 to 2008 during a period of unprecedented technological change and escalating threats. Previously, she held executive roles in banking technology at Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Currently, as the founder, president and CEO of a world-class cyber security consulting company, Fortalice Solutions, LLC and co-founder of Dark3, a cyber security product company, she remains the expert whom organisations call for discretion, proactive solutions and incident response/crisis management. She is often sought out by national and international media news outlets to explain complex security issues in business and consumer terms, and to get behind the hype to express, in layman’s terms, how to protect privacy and security. She has been a repeat guest on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox Business Shows, Fox News Shows, CBS Morning and Evening News, BBC TV News and Radio, CBSN, CNN, NBC News, MSNBC and NPR.
