Former NSA Director and Commander of US Cyber Command Mike Rogers Joins Cybersecurity Foundry Team8 as a Senior Advisor

October 18, 2018 By CybersecurityMarket.com

Team8, the leading cybersecurity think tank and company creation platform, today announced the appointment of ex-NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers to its Board of Advisors.

Rogers brings a distinct perspective into cyber warfare and the most pressing challenges that companies face. For the last four years, Rogers served concurrently as Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Commander of the US Cyber Command and Chief of the Central Security Service.

Aiming to empower enterprises to build resilience in the face of cyber attackers, Team8 builds cybersecurity companies from ideation to execution, leveraging the team’s expertise of former leaders of Israel’s elite technology & intelligence Unit 8200.

As a senior advisor, Rogers will capitalize on his unique grasp of technology trends, the cyber threat landscape and the evolving tactics and tools used by cyber attackers to provide invaluable insight to both Team8’s existing portfolio companies and those currently in development. Team8 opened its New York headquarters in September 2017 and Mike Rogers will be instrumental in helping strategize their US expansion.

“I’ve worked with the highly talented resources of Unit 8200 in the past and so when I had the opportunity to join Team8, I knew this was a rare and valued opportunity,’ said Mike Rogers. “Alongside their know-how, foresight and extraordinary capabilities in aligning with leading global organizations, I’m most impressed with how Team8’s model brings teams together to solve tangible problems that fundamentally make a difference to how enterprises operate in the face of cyber threats.”

Rogers’ appointment marks the latest company milestone, following recent acquisition of Team8 portfolio company Sygnia by global investment company Temasek for $250M and significant funding raises of its portfolio companies Claroty and Hysolate.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mike Rogers to the Team8 family,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO & Co-Founder of Team8 and former Commander of Unit 8200. “Mike will be an invaluable asset to Team8’s company-building model, providing a fountain of knowledge for our existing portfolio companies, for the companies in development and to help identify technology gaps in the marketplace on which future companies could be built.”
