TikTok, the controversial and wildly popular social video app maker, announced on Thursday that Roland Cloutier will join the company as Chief Information Security Officer.
Cloutier joins TikTok from ADP where he served as SVP and Chief Security Officer, overseeing the company's cyber, information protection, risk, workforce protection, crisis management, and investigative security operations worldwide.
News of Cloutier's appointment comes just one day after US officials issued additional warnings about the potential security risks of using TikTok and calls to ban the app from being used on government devices.
TikTok is not the only Chinese company luring high profile security talent from American companies and government organizations.
According to an ADP spokesperson, Dave Martin, Vice President, Threat and Incident Management, has assumed the role of Chief Security Officer at ADP, effective immediately.
