Vanta has appointed Jadee Hanson as its CISO.
Hanson is the latest executive to join Vanta’s leadership team over the past year following the additions of David Eckstein, CFO as Jeremy Epling, CPO.
“Finding an exemplary CISO with strong commercial sense, depth of experience in growing and developing exceptional teams, and a proven leader in security whose own philosophy aligned to ours was of paramount importance,” said Vanta CEO Christina Cacioppo.
“Jadee brings these attributes and much more to Vanta over her past 20 years of building businesses for growing security companies.
“I’m looking forward to Jadee’s leadership as we continue accelerating our enterprise momentum and pioneering the future of trust for global companies of all sizes.”
Hanson has spent the past seven years at Code42, serving as both CISO and CIO – playing a significant role in enhancing Code42’s security program.
Prior to Code42, Hanson held senior leadership roles in the security department of Target Corporation.
She was also with Deloitte as a security consultant for companies across diverse industries such as healthcare, technology, manufacturing, energy, retail and more.
Hanson made the Forbes’ 2023 CIO Next List, a Top 25 Women in Cybersecurity by The Software Report, and a Top 100 Women in Cybersecurity by Cyber Defense Magazine.
“Vanta is the prime example of a company putting customers first to solve the cybersecurity challenges of today, with cutting-edge automation, AI and a trust management platform that’s unmatched in the industry,” she said.
