GitHub has appointed Mike Hanley as their Chief Security Officer to help advance the state of software security together with their developer community.

Hanley brings five years of building and leading the security program at Duo Security – a period that has helped to assert his belief that good security and speed of the business are not on opposing ends of the spectrum if met with thoughtful design and a consumer-centric approach.

With his experience building programmes in SaaS companies such as Duo and Cisco, Hanley is aware of the importance of GitHub’s security features to a wide range of developers, and how their investments have been valuable to the next round of growth and investment in the area of security.

"As a security practitioner, this is also an exciting transition for me as much of the security community, and many of my favourite security projects, live on GitHub, like CloudMapper, stethoscope, GoPhish, and osquery. I couldn’t be more excited to help secure the platform that’s made these influential projects possible and expanded their reach in incredible ways,” he said.
