Today’s NightFeature spotlights Michael M., a distinguished cybersecurity leader who recently stepped into the role of Chief Technology Operations Officer at F5 in October. In this new position, Michael is driving F5’s enterprise-wide strategy to embed security and resilience into every layer of operations—bringing the same deep expertise he’s applied throughout his career leading global security programs, major incident response efforts, and large-scale risk initiatives. Michael previously served as COO at BlueVoyant and held CISO roles at Equinix and Digital Realty, with earlier leadership positions at Microsoft, FireEye/Mandiant, and EMC. His teams have earned CSO 50 and CIO 100 awards, and he is a CISO ORBIE Award honoree. We’re excited to see Michael continue shaping the future of cybersecurity at F5 and we’re grateful to have him as part of our NightDragon Advisor Council! Amy De Salvatore Audrey Laginess
