Assaf Keren Appointed New CISO of Meta

Assaf Keren announced on Wednesday that he is the new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of social media giant Meta.

There are few places in the world where that problem is bigger, harder, or more consequential,” Keren said. “The role brings together everything I’ve spent my career on: security, systems, and the human work of earning confidence.”

Prior to joining Meta, Keren served as SVP and Chief Security Officer (CSO) at enterprise software maker Qualtrics.
