Rob Silvers, recently appointed director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), was named a winner of the 2021 Wash100 Award for the first time in his federal career for leading the efforts to defend our national security through cyber defense, policy and improve our nation’s cyber capabilities to address our national security needs.
Following President Biden’s inauguration in Jan. 2021, it was reported that the administration would appoint Rob Silvers as the new CISA director to guide our nation’s cybersecurity strategy and oversee digital security and innovative efforts for our national security needs.
As the foremost senior official on cybersecurity policy in the federal government, Silvers is responsible for the U.S. government's engagement on cyber defense with the private sector, its response during significant cyber incidents, and its pursuit of law enforcement cyber investigations.
“Rob is extremely easy to work with,” said Ari Schwartz, a former senior cybersecurity official in the Obama administration who worked with Silvers. “He’s very thoughtful and listens to all sides of [cybersecurity] issues. He would ensure that CISA issues would remain top-tier issues at DHS.”
