Cytactic Expands Advisory Board with Cybercrime Expert Shawn J. Chen

Cytactic, renowned for its innovative approach in Cyber Incident Response Management (CIRM), has made headlines with its latest development. The company proudly announces the appointment of Shawn J. Chen, a distinguished figure in cybercrime and risk management, to its Advisory Board. This strategic addition comes alongside a significant investment from Chen, highlighting his commitment to advancing the company's mission.

Mr. Chen has nearly 30 years of experience at the forefront of cybercrime and crisis management. His background includes serving as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut, where he played a pivotal role in prosecuting some of the first cross-border cybercrime cases in the United States. His drive for justice has not only helped to bring cybercriminals to justice but has also helped to shape the legal landscape of cybersecurity, reinforcing the importance of regulations and enforcement.

“In my years of navigating the complexities of cybercrime, I learned that success lies in seamless coordination and decisive action, especially in crisis situations,” stated Shawn J. Chen. “As businesses increasingly face critical cyber incidents, Cytactic’s innovative approach equips organizations to manage these challenges effectively by aligning various essential teams.”

Dr. Nimrod Kozlovski, the Founder and CEO of Cytactic, underscored the significance of Chen's addition to the company stating, “Shawn Chen’s wealth of experience at the nexus of cybercrime prosecution and crisis management perfectly aligns with our vision for enhancing Cyber Incident Response Management. His insights will help us better equip organizations to navigate through cyber threats.”

In his current role, Chen is the Global Head of Litigation, Financial Crime Risk Legal, IP and Cyber Data Privacy at Stripe. Before joining Stripe, he served as the Global General Counsel for Litigation, Regulatory Enforcement, and Investigations at HSBC. His expertise in guiding organizations through multifaceted regulatory and operational challenges is invaluable to Cytactic’s future direction. This newfound strategy aims to integrate legal, security, risk management, and communications into one cohesive approach to combating cyber threats.

Cytactic is not new to navigating complex challenges, nor to assembling talent in cybersecurity and crisis management. Fellow Advisory Board members include notable figures like Tim Brown, former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of SolarWinds, and Dr. Yonesy Núñez, a six-time CISO and cybersecurity executive. The company’s collective experience is set to strengthen the resilience of organizations against evolving cyber threats.

Cytactic’s platform utilizes AI-driven orchestration and real-time decision-making capabilities, empowering organizations to tackle cyber incidents more effectively. By establishing a unified front among security, legal, and operational approaches, Cytactic provides organizations with the tools necessary to respond swiftly and efficiently to cyber incidents, ultimately enhancing their resilience in the face of adversity.

As cyber threats continue to escalate in frequency and sophistication, the need for a well-coordinated response strategy is more crucial than ever. With Shawn J. Chen's expertise, Cytactic is poised to lead the charge in transforming how organizations prepare for, manage, and recover from cyber threats moving forward.
