Colonial Pipeline named Adam Tice as its first-ever Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). In this role, Tice will oversee and be responsible for Colonial Pipeline's information and data security program.
Tice has a proven track record of addressing the most complex and sensitive security issues in post-breach environments. Tice developed expertise in navigating post-breach environments when he joined Equifax as the Senior Vice President of Cyber Operations after their 2017 incident. In this role, he helped build and cultivate a team of more than 130 security professionals while working to help mature and enhance the organization's security program.
"American businesses, both large and small, are increasingly becoming a target of nation-state actors or [cybercriminals] with a variety of motives. As we saw with the various cybersecurity incidents last year, one bad day can cause a ripple effect across the country," said Adam Tice. "What's important in a post-breach environment is the willingness to invest in technology, talent and infrastructure to come back from an incident even stronger. I'm looking forward to being a part of the Colonial team and delivering on this important mission to keep our critical infrastructure safe."
Most recently, Tice led security operations, detection and response, threat intelligence, and investigations at Silicon Valley Bank. There he was tasked with overseeing the bank's cyber defenses and ensuring the leadership team stayed apprised of the latest threats to the financial industry. Earlier in his career, he worked as a consultant at leading cybersecurity consulting firm, Mandiant, and at defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
