“We are thrilled that David is joining our highly regarded group of board advisors offering strategic advice and support to the company during our rapid global expansion. David brings a unique perspective and understanding of cybersecurity, data and privacy issues and his nearly three-decade career in DC will be invaluable in the coming months,” said Lior Div, CEO and Co-founder, Cybereason.

“Cybereason is one of the hottest cybersecurity companies in the world and I’m looking forward to being part of an impressive group of industry stalwarts and visionaries on their advisory board. It's no coincidence that Cybereason’s meteoric rise is coming at a time when more and more targeted, state-sponsors actors are carrying out sophisticated attacks against the global 1,000 companies and software and services needed to combat risks are offered by the company,” said Kris.
Kris is the recipient of numerous awards and medals, including the National Intelligence Superior Service Medal, the Office of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service, the CIA Agency Seal Medal, the Department of Justice Edmund J. Randolph Award, and on two occasions the Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service, the Department of Justice’s highest honor.
