As the Deputy Director of CIA for Digital Innovation, Jennifer Ewbank is the agency’s chief digital officer, overseeing the CIA’s chief information officer and other key tech roles, and is responsible for accelerating the development and integration of digital and cyber capabilities across all of CIA’s mission areas, including enterprise IT, cybersecurity, cyber operations and analysis, data strategy and artificial intelligence, open source collection and reporting, and much more. “Risk is the defining characteristic of the CIA,” Ewbank said recently. “If the CIA cannot manage risk, the CIA cannot be the CIA,” she said of her job in the cyber and digital space.
