Retired General Keith Alexander, president, IronNet Cybersecurity

Retired General Keith Alexander knows a thing or two about building defenses. And as the president of IronNet Cybersecurity, the former director of the National Security Agency is now calling for private sector and government entities to come together in an effort he describes as “collective defense.”

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA 2020, Alexander also discusses:

  • IronNet’s latest threat research and predictions;
  • The latest manifestations of nation-state threats;
  • The state of election cybersecurity.

As the founder, chairman, Co-CEO and president at IronNet Cybersecurity, Alexander provides strategic vision to corporate leaders on cybersecurity issues through development of cutting-edge technology, consulting and education/training. The retired four-star general had a 40-year military career, culminating as director of the National Security Agency and chief of the Central Security Service.
