Zhou will lead all aspects of security risk management for Linode, including enterprise security architecture, governance, product and platform security, network security, secure software development, security awareness training, penetration and vulnerability management, identity and access management, incident response, disaster recovery, business continuity, and supply chain security risk management.

"Security is integral to everything we do," said Christopher Aker, founder and CEO of Linode.

"Successfully implementing robust security controls at a massive scale requires a strategic and calculated mindset. You have to instill a methodically paranoid mindset across the company to cultivate a healthy and strong security culture," said Zhou.

Zhou brings broad experience managing cyber security practices at scale, as well as extensive architecture leadership and systems engineering experience designing massively scalable security control systems and instilling a secure-by-design approach to company culture.

Most recently at Transworld Systems, he was responsible for security compliance controls mandated by HIPAA, PCI DSS Service Level 1, SOC 1, SOC 2 and FedRAMP and implemented innovative machine learning-based threat detection capabilities at the company.

Zhou's appointment follows recent expansion of Linode's senior leadership team including Will Charnock who joins as CTO. Linode also announced two new free security services for developers building on the Linode cloud.
