Prior to joining Active Cypher in 2020, Mike was Microsoft’s CVP for the Enterprise Cybersecurity Group, leading the unification of Microsoft’s diverse cybersecurity solutions, and was SVP at Cisco, where he led Advanced Services, Customer Assurance with overall responsibility for client cybersecurity architecture, risk and incident management, leading hyperscale and hybrid client engineering and architectures for various cloud providers.
