INTRUSION Appoints Renowned Cybersecurity Expert, Tony Scott, as New President & CEO
November 11 2021 - 6:00PM
INTRUSION (Nasdaq: INTZ), a leader in cyberattack prevention
solutions including zero-days, today appointed Tony Scott as its
new President and CEO, who will assume the role on Monday, November
15, 2021. Scott brings to INTRUSION many years of executive
leadership and cybersecurity experience, including serving as
Federal CIO for the U.S. government, CIO for multi-billion
corporations such as VMware, Microsoft and The Walt Disney Company,
as well as a private consultant helping organizations implement
effective world class solutions for cybersecurity, IT governance
and crisis management.
Prior to his appointment, Scott had been serving
as the founder and CEO of the TonyScottGroup, LLC., a Washington DC
and Silicon Valley-based consulting and venture capital firm
focused on early-stage cybersecurity and privacy technologies.
Before starting the TonyScottGroup in 2017, Scott was appointed by
President Obama as the Federal Chief Information Officer for the
U.S. Government in February 2015. In that role, he had oversight,
budget and management responsibilities for the more than $85
billion budget that the Federal Government annually spends on IT.
He and his team managed the government-wide response plan after the
OPM cybersecurity incident, which prompted the Cybersecurity Sprint
and Implementation Plan (CSIP) that dramatically improved the
information systems security posture of the Federal Government. He
also created the first “State of IT” report at the end of the Obama
administration, collaborating with members of Congress to create
several legislative proposals to improve IT funding within the
Federal Government. Scott is a renowned expert on providing public
and private sector executive insights concerning matters such as
digital transformation, cloud adoption, machine learning, AI,
cybersecurity, governance, open data, and workforce diversity, and
he has appeared frequently before Congress as well as at numerous
industry forums. Prior to working at the Federal Government, Scott
was the CIO at VMware, Microsoft, and The Walt Disney Company, as
well as CTO at General Motors, and he has also held senior
executive positions at Bristol Meyers Squibb, Price Waterhouse, Sun
Microsystems and Marriott.
“We are pleased to welcome Tony to INTRUSION and
believe his unparalleled expertise, decades of executive leadership
and highly regarded reputation will provide significant benefit to
the Company at this critical stage of our evolution,” said
INTRUSION’s Chairman, Tony LeVecchio. “His deep knowledge and
connections at the Federal Government will be extremely valuable to
the management and oversight of our government business, while his
broad experience at market-leading enterprises will be critical for
the positioning and global expansion of our Shield solution. On
behalf of the Board of Directors and entire management team, we
look forward to working closely with Tony and are excited about the
future of INTRUSION under his leadership.”
Scott holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from
the University of San Francisco in Information Systems Management
and a Juris Doctorate (law) degree from Santa Clara University. He
was inducted into CIO Magazine’s “CIO Hall of Fame” and has been a
frequent keynote speaker, panelist and advisor at numerous industry
and government events. Scott is a multi-year recipient of the Fed
100 Award and has been recognized for his leadership skills by
multiple organizations.
