Appointment highlights F5’s commitment to
embedding top-tier security into every aspect of its operations and
offerings
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV), today announced the appointment of Samir
Sherif as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security
Officer (CISO). In this role, Sherif will lead F5’s enterprise
cybersecurity strategy and security culture, evolve F5’s security
capabilities and resilience, oversee cybersecurity standards and
programs for F5’s products and services, and showcase to customers
and the broader industry the value of F5’s security solutions.
As a seasoned CISO and an expert in application security,
Sherif's arrival marks a significant addition to F5’s leadership
team. His previous tenure as CISO at both Absolute Software and
Imperva, coupled with an extensive career at Citigroup—culminating
as the Global Head of Application Security—has equipped Sherif with
considerable experience in helping organizations around the globe
navigate today’s complex security, resilience, and compliance
landscape.
“Samir’s appointment is a result of F5’s unwavering commitment
to ensuring the highest level of security is woven into the fabric
of our operational processes and product offerings,” said Tom
Fountain, EVP, Global Services and Chief Strategy Officer at F5.
“His vast experience and leadership in application security are
assets that will propel our enterprise security measures and help
us safeguard our customers’ digital experiences.”
Sherif’s arrival highlights F5’s emphasis on security at a time
when applications continue to be at the heart of all digital
experiences. When apps are secure, they unlock value and
potential—however, just as apps have become critical for life
online, they’ve also become harder to protect. Today’s apps are
built on multiple architectures, distributed over various cloud
environments, and connected by an exploding number of
APIs—complexity that requires more skill and resources to manage,
while creating more points of vulnerability for cybercriminals to
attack.
It is F5’s mission to provide an easy, efficient way to secure,
scale, optimize, and manage all applications and APIs—no matter
where they are deployed—so businesses can flourish in a multi-cloud
world.
“As the new Chief Information Security Officer at F5, my mission
is to harness our leadership in multi-cloud application security to
further strengthen our enterprise cybersecurity initiatives,” said
Sherif. “By continuing to raise the bar on our security culture and
standards and showcasing the intrinsic value of our security
technologies, we aim to empower our customers to build a better and
more secure digital world. I am excited to build on F5’s commitment
to ensuring that security is the foundation of our offerings.”
Sherif takes over F5’s CISO role for Gail Coury, who is retiring
on March 1 after successfully leading the company’s enterprise
security efforts for the past three years.
