Ecommerce technology company Rokt has appointed Josh DeFrain as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) effective immediately. DeFrain will be Rokt's first CISO and will lead the company's information security efforts.

DeFrain comes to the company with 15 years information security executive experience. Prior to joining Rokt, he served as CISO at Flatiron Health, where he built the company's product security, cloud security, GRC, incident detection/response and security engineering verticals and protected the medical records of over 3.5 million patients. Prior to that, DeFrain was Global Cyber Security Operations Director at Capital One, where he built four teams of more than 50 analysts, engineers and developers who were responsible for security monitoring, incident response, SIEM and software engineering for cyber operations. In addition to his corporate experience, DeFrain has served as a contractor to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, where he built big data platforms to identify targeted cyberattack campaigns from nation-state actors.

Congratulations!
