AlertEnterprise announced the appointment of Mark Weatherford as Chief Information Security Officer.

In the CISO position Weatherford will guide strategic aspects of data management and protection, advising cyber-physical Security policies and procedures within AlertEnterprise.

Weatherford will reach out to businesses and executive professionals in the Cyber and Physical Security industries to further accelerate Security Convergence adoption.

Weatherford arrives at AlertEnterprise at a time in which cyber-physical platforms are rapidly converging, with digital systems increasingly in control of IT, Physical Security, OT and loT-expanding the description of the CISO position.

"Cyber-physical Security is no longer simply an opportunity, it's an obligation for every organization. You only have to look to recent news to see the devastating effects a cyber-attack and physical Security breach can have on an organization and nation," said Mark Weatherford.

Weatherford, a current AlertEnterprise Advisory Board member, has held numerous high-level cyber-centric positions, including Vice President and Chief Security Officer at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation; the Department of Homeland Security's first Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity under the Obama Administration; California's first Chief Information Security Officer; and the first CISO for the state of Colorado.
