BeyondTrust has appointed Sean Malone as its new chief information security officer (CISO). With 15-plus years of experience and proven leadership in the cybersecurity industry, Malone will oversee BeyondTrust’s global security strategy, including security for products and services, threat management, cyber risk and compliance, and security operations.
Malone’s career spans offensive security, cyber risk quantification, and executive leadership. BeyondTrust says he brings a blend of hands-on technical expertise and strategic vision to the CISO role.
At Demandbase, as CISO, Malone led global security operations, influenced research and development strategy, and regularly advised executive leadership on risk governance. His experience at Amazon Prime Video strengthened enterprise cyber defence at scale, while his leadership at VisibleRisk and BitSight honed his ability to quantify and communicate cyber risk.
“I am thrilled to welcome Sean to the BeyondTrust security team,” said BeyondTrust CEO Janine Seebeck. “As we continue to grow the company and advance our mission of helping customers solve their real-world security problems, Sean’s leadership will be instrumental in ensuring BeyondTrust sets the standard for security excellence.”
In related news, Malone was recently announced as a winner of the 2025 Pacific Northwest ORBIE awards, a technology executive recognition program honouring CISOs who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership and the business value created through technology innovation.
