SolarWinds Hires Chris Krebs to Reboot Its Cybersecurity>
Bank Info Security – Mathew J. Schwartz
Texas-based SolarWinds has hired Chris Krebs – the former U.S. government cybersecurity czar who was fired by President Donald Trump after he stated that the 2020 election was the most secure in history – to serve as an independent consultant.
As the Financial Times first reported, Krebs now says that he and new business partner Alex Stamos, the former CSO of Facebook, will help SolarWinds with its crisis response.
SolarWinds’ new CEO, Sudhakar Ramakrishna, says that hiring Krebs and Stamos as consultants is part of the company’s move to rethink its “security programs, policies, teams and culture.”
