Source: The Hill
The Biden administration has picked Chris DeRusha, the former top cyber official on the Biden campaign, to fill the role of federal chief information security officer.
DeRusha's appointment, first reported by CyberScoop, was made public on his LinkedIn profile on Monday night, and confirmed by acting Federal Chief Information Officer Maria Roat on Tuesday.
"Welcome aboard Chris DeRusha, our new Federal CISO!," Roat tweeted. The White House did not respond to The Hill's request for comment on the appointment.
DeRusha served as CISO for the Biden campaign beginning in July. A Biden campaign spokesperson told The Hill at the time that DeRusha and other campaign cyber officials would "be central to strengthening the infrastructure we've built to mitigate cyber threats, bolster our voter protection efforts, and enhance the overall efficiency and security of the entire campaign."
