Keeper Security has announced the appointment of James Scobey as the company’s first Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Scobey joins Keeper from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where he has served as CISO since 2022. Scobey’s experience encompasses almost three decades of cybersecurity, information technology and leadership roles across both the public and private sectors.
At the SEC, Scobey oversaw the implementation of zero-trust principles to modernise the agency’s cybersecurity defences. He drove the SEC’s shift to an identity- and data-centric security model, setting an example for other federal agencies and financial institutions.
“I’m thrilled to join Keeper Security at this important time for cybersecurity,” said Scobey. “We live in an increasingly dangerous world. As threats to personal, corporate and federal identities continue to evolve and expand, it’s more important than ever to defend identities and secrets throughout their lifecycle and deny threat actors access to our most sensitive information.
“I look forward to leveraging my experience to further strengthen Keeper’s innovative solutions and help our customers safeguard their most valuable digital assets.”
“We are excited to welcome James to the expanding Keeper Security leadership team,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. “His impressive experience and expertise will be instrumental in enhancing our internal security framework as we continue to strengthen our leadership position across Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) markets.”
“With the expansion of Keeper’s platform further into the enterprise and public sectors, we’re excited to add a world-class CISO to our team,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. “James’ strategic guidance will play a pivotal role in ensuring Keeper’s internal cybersecurity standards, policies and compliance remain as robust and industry-leading as the solutions we provide to our customers.”
As Keeper Security’s first CISO, Scobey will lead the company’s global cybersecurity strategy, ensuring the continued protection of company data and reinforcing the organisation’s defences against emerging cyber threats.
