Malcolm Harkins will be joining the Epiphany Systems executive team as Chief Security Officer. With deep cybersecurity domain experience, along with substantial operational understanding on the challenges CISOs face, Harkins will be infusing his expertise into expanding the company's footprint globally.

"Accepting risk and acceptable risk are two different things. For too long, we have been accepting unacceptable risk, not because we want to, but because we have been unable to understand the daisy chain of exploitability due to the complexity of our connected systems and environments," said Malcolm Harkins, CSO of Epiphany Systems. "I am thrilled to be able to join Epiphany Systems to help transform the legacy industry approach of vulnerability management to exploitability management."

Harkins has been recognized by numerous cybersecurity organizations, including being named one of the Premier Information Technology Leaders by Computerworld. He's also been recognized by the RSA Conference with the 'Excellence in the Field of Security' award. Harkins is a Fellow with the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology, a non-partisan think-tank providing advice on cybersecurity to the House, Senate, and a variety of federal agencies. As an avid contributor to the cybersecurity community, Harkins has authored numerous white papers and has published a book, Managing Risk and Information Security: Protect to Enable.
