Cheryl Davis Joins from the U.S. National
Security Council
FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) today announced that Cheryl Davis,
former Director for Cybersecurity Policy at the U.S. National
Security Council and Principal Director of Cyber Policy at the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, has joined the firm’s
cross-segment cybersecurity team as a Managing Director in its
Technology segment.
Ms. Davis, who will be based in Washington, D.C., served as a
senior cybersecurity policy advisor to the Trump and Obama
administrations and led the development of whole-of-government
responses to malicious cyber activity that threatened the United
States and its allies. Ms. Davis joins a growing cybersecurity
offering at FTI Consulting and will work directly with Senior
Managing Director Anthony J. Ferrante, who is the former Director
for Cyber Incident Response at the U.S. National Security
Council.
At FTI Consulting, Ms. Davis will assist corporate and
government clients with threat prevention, incident response and
remediation, system architecture and design, privacy notifications
and programs, IT strategy, governance, program assessment and data
security.
“Cheryl delivers the complete package of cybersecurity
leadership, innovation and action. She has worked across the U.S.
government to implement policies that shield our nation from
foreign threats and infrastructure failures, facilitate
cross-border cybersecurity agreements, further cyber technical
innovation and protect private industry,” said Sophie Ross, Global
Chief Executive Officer of the Technology segment at FTI
Consulting. “As corporations respond to an increasingly large and
varied number of cyber threats, experience such as Cheryl’s becomes
vital in helping them protect against cyber incidents and implement
strategies to decrease future exposure.”
Mr. Ferrante added, “I have had the pleasure of serving in two
presidential administrations with Cheryl and working alongside her
to protect the United States against complex cyber threats. Her
experience collaborating with agencies both domestically and
internationally will be a tremendous asset to corporations and law
firms as they work to counter these threats and safeguard their
systems.”
As a lead advisor on U.S.-China cyber matters, Ms. Davis
coordinated the implementation of the bilateral U.S.-China Four
Point Agreement, which set the rules for theft of intellectual
property by nation-state actors. Ms. Davis also worked across
multiple branches of government, including the White House, law
enforcement, national and domestic security bodies and various
government agencies to develop and implement tools and policies
used to meet critical cyber challenges and threats.
Before joining the Department of Homeland Security in 2012, Ms.
Davis served on the staff of the Office of the U.S. Secretary of
Defense. She focused on cyber and intelligence policy issues,
including those integral to the establishment of the U.S. Cyber
Command, which plans, synchronizes and conducts activities related
to military cyberspace operations.
“We live in an era of unprecedented data accessibility, movement
and vulnerability in both the corporate and government spheres,”
Ms. Davis said. “Organizations are more open than ever to cyber
threats that continue to evolve on a daily basis. I am excited to
work with an expert team to help clients protect against and
respond to these events.”
