Box <\/a> announced today that it has hired Lakshmi Hanspal to be the company\u2019s new chief information security officer (CISO). She boasts 20 years of security experience, including holding executive security roles at SAP Ariba and Bank of America. She also spent time in a senior role at PayPal.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a> announcing the hire, the company defined her role this way: \u201cIn the role of CISO, Lakshmi will be responsible for Box\u2019s cyber security practice, security operations and data and platform protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanspal sees similarities in Box from her time at SAP Ariba, but she recognizes that she will face a different set of challenges. \u201cMy role at Box is similar to what I focused on at SAP Ariba with the biggest difference being Box\u2019s geographical footprint. Box is a born in the cloud company and expanding rapidly globally, so my focus will also include securing public cloud operations (future stack) and risk transparency for our customers,\u201d she told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

She said that will involve improving service maturity and sustainability through automation, while continuing to ensure the highest level of security of both Box corporate and product platforms.<\/p>\n

Hanspal is the third woman on Box\u2019s executive team, joining Stephanie Carullo<\/a>, who was hired as chief operating officer in 2017 and chief people officer, Christie Lake.<\/p>\n
