Peters , Chief Information Security Officer , Operational Technology ( OT ) North America , to learn more .
Having spent almost four decades at the US National Security Agency ( NSA ) in a variety of managerial and executive roles , it is safe to say that Peters knows what constitutes strong cybersecurity system defences . During his long tenure , he was able to gain credentials , experience , and insight into what it takes to successfully launch a business in cyberspace . “ I had the luxury of experiencing and executing missions from both the offensive and defensive sides . Post my IC career , I felt that whatever was next professionally needed to be a departure from working in the government , and private industry afforded such an opportunity .” It wasn ’ t long before Peters joined the Fortinet team in early 2018 .
