The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has appointed two associate directors to spearhead its cybersecurity division’s China and mission engineering operations.
Eric Goldstein, executive assistant director for cybersecurity at CISA, said in a blog post published Thursday that David Carroll will serve as associate director for mission engineering and Andrew Scott will be associate director for China operations.
Carroll’s 25-year career has taken him from Google to the U.S. Armed Forces and the Department of Homeland Security. He spent eight years as a combat communications and control specialist and joined the private defense sector through MITRE. He was the principal cyber security scientist and portfolio director of the company’s national cyber defense operations.
His other career highlights include tenure as the DHS chief information security architect and division director, principal program manager of Microsoft Azure and technical director of the chief digital transformation office under the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations.
Scott joins CISA from the White House National Security Council, where he was most recently the special assistant to the president and senior director for cyber policy. He worked for six years in the private sector, and was later chosen by the Department of State for the role of chief of the Bureau of Human Resources’ systems operations branch.
The latter executive has been a cybersecurity and data analytics expert for NSC and other federal agencies for nearly 15 years.
