Industry veteran who oversees the company’s
Secure by Design initiative recognized as “Gold” winner in the
Information Technology category
SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), a leading provider of simple, powerful,
secure observability and IT management software, today announced
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and VP of Security Tim
Brown has been named CISO of the year by the Globee® Cybersecurity
Awards. Brown was awarded Gold—the highest level of recognition—in
this year’s Information Technology category.
Brown has served as CISO and VP of security for SolarWinds since
2017. In the role, he’s leveraged more than 25 years of industry
experience developing and implementing security technology to help
drive digital innovation and change. Brown is notably responsible
for spearheading the company’s Secure by Design initiative, a
gold-plated cybersecurity standard focusing on people,
infrastructure, and software development to further enhance the
company’s security framework. A key component of this initiative is
the ongoing development of the SolarWinds Next-Generation Build
System. This build system includes industry software development
practices designed to strengthen build environments through a
unique “parallel build” process, which is paving the way for more
secure software development throughout the industry. The company
has been commended in the industry for its Secure by Design
initiative, which has provided a new model for how to help prevent
and mitigate cyberattacks.
“I am truly honored to accept this recognition from the Globee
Cybersecurity Awards,” said Brown. “This achievement would not have
been possible without the hard work of my talented colleagues, who
deserve so much of the credit. Through our Secure by Design
initiative and our ongoing commitment to efficient
information-sharing and public-private partnerships, we are helping
make both our company and the overall industry a safer place.”
In addition to helping oversee Secure by Design, Brown has been
heavily involved in the launch of the SolarWinds® Hybrid Cloud
Observability and SolarWinds Observability solutions, which were
both developed with a rigorous adherence to an advanced,
multi-layer security framework. SolarWinds observability solutions
provide IT Ops, DevOps, and other tech teams with
single-pane-of-glass visibility across public and private clouds.
The machine learning and AIOps-powered offerings provide predictive
intelligence to help manage complex hybrid IT environments while
providing organizations with the actionable information they need
to achieve optimum performance, compliance, and resilience.
Brown has extensive experience in the cybersecurity industry. He
previously served as a fellow and executive director of security at
Dell®, fellow and cybersecurity strategist at ITSPMagazine, and
chief product officer at Nopsec®. He’s spoken at several notable
events—including the Texas Cyber Summit, Black Hat EMEA, the Africa
Executive Summit, CyberSecure, and the ISACA Conference North
America—about various security topics, highlighting the SolarWinds
Secure by Design initiative and the Next-Generation Build
System.
The Globee Awards are conferred in nine programs and
competitions, including Cybersecurity World, and grant top-scoring
qualifying nominees with Gold-level awards.
