Mike Duffy
Federal Leadership
With nearly 17 years of experience in increasingly high-level cybersecurity positions at the Department of Homeland Security, Mike Duffy was a logical choice to take over as acting Federal CISO in May when Chris DeRusha left the position for the private sector. Prior to his elevation to the White House, Duffy spent three years as the associate director for capacity building for CISA’s cybersecurity division, leading the federal cyber portfolio and the federal government’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program. Duffy, who chairs the Federal CISO Council, has also overseen the government’s cyber practitioner training portfolio and aided federal and private sector critical infrastructure officials in meeting federal targets on security and modernization.
