MITRE has named Wen Masters as vice president for cyber technologies, where she will lead corporate cybersecurity strategy beginning May 17, 2021.

Masters will be responsible for developing a wide range of cyber capabilities and solutions, including programs that address key economic and national security challenges such as securing critical infrastructure against foreign exploitation and protecting American intellectual property from cyber theft by foreign adversaries.

Masters will be responsible for the strategic direction for cyber technologies at MITRE and will drive cybersecurity strategy through our sponsored and independent research and in partnership with academia and industry.

She will also collaborate with the MITRE Accelerator and MITRE Engenuity, a foundation for public good, to drive the success of industry-facing cyber initiatives such as the Center for Threat-Informed Defense.

"Cybersecurity is one of MITRE's most important, differentiated capabilities and touches on our work across customers, partners, and independent research," said Charles Clancy, senior vice president, general manager of MITRE Labs, and chief futurist.

Masters was most recently deputy director for research at Georgia Tech Research Institute, director of the Information and Cyber Sciences Directorate at GTRI, and a principal research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech.
