Armis Federal, a division of Armis, a cyber exposure management and security company, announced this week the appointment of Federal cybersecurity experts Paul Craft and David Epperson to its advisory board. The Armis Federal Advisory Board is a senior group of former government executives responsible for providing strategic guidance on how Armis can support the changing cybersecurity needs of U.S. government entities.
“Paul and David are proven leaders with a deep understanding of the unique security challenges facing the U.S. Federal government,” said Alex Mosher, President at Armis. “We are pleased to welcome them to the Armis Federal Advisory Board to aid us in our joint mission. Together with our existing Board members, their collective expertise and insights will help us support Federal entities in protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure.”
Paul Craft was the longest-serving Chief of Cyber for the U.S. Army. A retired U.S. Army General Officer, he also held leadership positions at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and more.
“Next-generation technologies like Armis are essential in safeguarding the expanding attack surface,” said Craft. “Armis’ AI-powered platform proactively identifies and mitigates risks before they can cause disruption. As a Board member, I look forward to helping government entities navigate today’s complex threat landscape for the benefit of the American people.”
David Epperson served as the first CIO of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and established the agency’s inaugural Senior Executive Service (SES) CISO position. Additionally, he held key roles at the White House and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“As an industry, we must work together to solve Federal entities’ most complex cybersecurity challenges,” added Epperson. “I have seen firsthand the importance of a unified approach between the public and private sectors, and I’m eager to collaborate with other members of the Armis Federal Advisory Board to enhance the cyber resiliency of our nation.”
Armis Federal continues its commitment to supporting U.S. government entities. The expansion of the Board follows Armis’ creation of Armis Federal earlier this year, which focuses on providing tailored solutions to Federal agencies and Tribal Nations. The company is in the final stages of achieving authorizations for DISA Impact Level 5 and FedRAMP High.
Armis Federal has also partnered with IT systems integrator ECS to support its contract with DHS for Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Data Services.
