Brandon Wales is the Vice President of Cybersecurity Strategy with SentinelOne, and the former Executive Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. He’s a long-standing public figure, particularly within the field of cybersecurity and U.S. government operations.
Known for shaping CISA's strategic direction, Wales has been one of the leading, instrumental change agents in enhancing federal cybersecurity defenses, coordinating responses to major cyber incidents, and raising national awareness on cyber resilience. Brandon was pivotal in the 2020 U.S. election security efforts, coordinating the agency’s efforts to protect election infrastructure, counteract misinformation, and establish CISA’s "Rumor Control" page to combat misinformation, a resource that proved critical in ensuring public trust and integrity in election processes. This work highlighted the value of public-private partnerships across critical infrastructure sectors.
