Twitter's search for a new chief information security officer has come to an end.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Sethi previously held management positions at eBay, Intuit, Palo Alto Networks, IBM and Rubrik.

Sethi is Twitter's third CISO since March 2018, when Michael Coates left the company.

Twitter announced at the time that Joseph Camilleri, a senior manager for information security and risk, would act as interim CISO. Camilleri was interim CISO until November 2018, when Mike Convertino was appointed to the role, which he held until December 2019.

In July, shortly after Twitter suffered a significant data breach that resulted in many high-profile accounts getting hijacked to promote a cryptocurrency scam, Reuters reported that Twitter had stepped up its search for a new CISO in the weeks leading up to the incident.
