NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MUFG Union
Bank announced that Devon Bryan has
joined as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for MUFG Union
Bank effective August 3rd and
will be based in Jersey City,
NJ.
Bryan will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a
comprehensive information security strategy and program to ensure
that information assets and technologies are appropriately
protected. In addition, he will ensure information
security risks are identified, evaluated, mitigated and reported;
lead efforts to prevent and respond to security incidents;
establish standards and controls; manage security technologies; and
implement security policies and procedures. Bryan will report
directly to Chris Higgins, Chief
Information & Operations Officer (CIOO) for MUFG Americas
Holdings Corporation and its U.S. banking subsidiary, MUFG Union
Bank, N.A., and will serve as a member of his management team.
"I am thrilled that Devon will be leading our Enterprise
Information Security organization," Higgins said. "He has an
impressive career track record in this field which makes him
perfectly qualified to lead us in this important area. He
will be focused on developing solutions rather than just
implementing policies, and he will also facilitate business
enablement versus enacting a narrowly defined security
approach."
Bryan is a seasoned executive with deep subject matter expertise
in information security. Most recently, he served as the CISO
for KPMG for the US and Americas Ltd, where he was charged with
effectively designing and executing a best-in-class information and
data security function with a proactive approach to enable business
results.
Prior to KPMG, Bryan served as the Executive Vice President and
CISO for the National IT Organization of the Federal Reserve System
where he was responsible for ensuring the effectiveness and
efficiency of the Federal Reserve's information security policies,
architecture, programs and incident response team. Prior to
joining the Federal Reserve, Bryan served as the Global CISO for
ADP, a Fortune 500 outsourced payroll and human resources provider,
and as Deputy CISO for the Internal Revenue Service. Bryan's
information security career began in the U.S. Air Force, where he
served for over a decade as a Captain and lead network security
engineer working on systems and programs to protect the critical
network and communications networks of the Air Force's Air Combat
Command.
Bryan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics
from South Dakota Technological University and a Master of Science
degree in Computer Science from Colorado Technological University,
graduating Summa Cum Laude. Bryan co-founded the
International Consortium of Minority Cybersecurity Professionals
(ICMCP), a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to improving the
underrepresentation of women and minorities in the field of
cybersecurity through academic scholarships, certifications,
mentoring and networking opportunities.
