Senior Intelligence Official Ron Moultrie Joins Balabit Advisory Board
May 2017 by Marc Jacob
Balabit announced that the former Director of Operations at the National Security Agency, Ronald (Ron) Moultrie, has joined Balabit’s Advisory Board.
Mr. Moultrie joins Balabit’s Advisory Board during a period of exceptional growth in demand for the Company’s award-winning Privileged Access Management solutions, which enable organizations to protect themselves and their assets against malicious insiders and external cyberthreats.
Moultrie brings to the Board more than three decades of proven leadership experience and uniquely well-informed cybersecurity insight, having held senior management roles in the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other organizations within the Intelligence Community. Ron led the NSA’s SIGINT Enterprise from 2010-2015, responsible for over half of the NSA’s workforce and multi-billion dollar annual budgets, retiring as the Director of Operations.
He is widely acknowledged as an accomplished security visionary and an expert in driving innovative technological development and strategic planning and execution on a global scale. Balabit will leverage this expertise as it further hones and advances its product strategies and development roadmap.
Moultrie was the first African-American in NSA’s history to lead its global operations and is also one of the Agency’s most decorated officers. Ron is currently the President and CEO of Oceanus Security Strategies, LLC, a consulting firm that works with clients to develop strategies for optimizing security and technology.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree (Magna Cum Laude) from the University of Maryland, earned a Master’s degree from the Defence Intelligence College, and completed Senior Executive studies at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
