Chris Morales

CISO, Security Strategist & Advisor

Chris Morales has been living and breathing cybersecurity for over two decades. As a threat modeling expert and an active voice in the infosec community, he has spent his career designing incident response and threat management programs for some of the world's largest enterprises. Currently, he’s the CISO and Head of Security Strategy at Netenrich, where his focus is on scaling operations securely and protecting supply chains from adversarial attacks.

Chris’s career has taken him all over the map-literally. He started out in Atlanta, spent time in London, Los Angeles, and Austin, and now calls the San Francisco Bay Area home. Building security programs across these diverse global tech hubs has given him a unique, boots-on-the-ground perspective on different corporate cultures and global security challenges. He knows firsthand that effective cybersecurity has to be adaptable and make sense for the business, no matter where it operates.

If you catch Chris on a podcast or reading his industry interviews, you’ll quickly learn he’s not a fan of the old-school "prevention-only" mindset. Instead, he’s all about Autonomic Security Operations (ASO) and taking a proactive, shift-left approach to build real, dynamic business resilience.

Before joining Netenrich, Chris led advisory services and security analytics at Vectra AI, where he helped organizations break down advanced threat vectors. Over the years, he’s worn a lot of hats - spanning security engineering, consulting, architecture, and research, with leadership stops at heavy hitters like IBM, McAfee, Accuvant, 451 Research, NSS Labs, and HyTrust.

When he's not navigating the latest cyber threats from the Bay Area, Chris is focused on giving back to the tech community, which includes his ongoing work as an advisory board member for Saporo.
