ST.
LOUIS, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
FleishmanHillard has named Scott
Radcliffe as the agency's global director of cybersecurity.
In this new position he will be responsible for overseeing the
agency's global Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, which brings
together communications expertise from across the firm to advise
clients who are facing ever-increasing cyber risk.
FleishmanHillard's Cybersecurity Center of Excellence sits at the
intersection where crisis and preparedness, policy and issues, and
product and innovation come together. The role will report to
Tim O'Keeffe, FleishmanHillard's
global managing director of Technology.
"FleishmanHillard partners with global businesses to help them
understand and navigate the role cybersecurity plays in this
accelerated wave of digital transformation," said O'Keeffe. "Right
now, company leaders are under immense pressure to fully understand
the new dynamics of U.S. disclosure policies when preparing for a
potential cyber incident. Today, it's more than just being prepared
for a data breach, business leaders must now navigate changing
policy and governance issues to remain compliant. FleishmanHillard,
with Scott's leadership, is uniquely positioned to help company
leaders navigate through these changing dynamics."
Radcliffe returns to FleishmanHillard from Apple, where he led
cybersecurity communications. He previously served as the agency's
senior global data privacy and security expert from 2016 to 2020.
He began his career in the U.S. Army after graduating from West
Point, where he was first exposed to cybersecurity while working
under the Multi-National Corps-Iraq Commanding General.
"Personal and corporate data have become some of the most
valuable resources any organization has, and the threat to that
resource is only growing as its value to bad actors continues to
rise," said Radcliffe. "It's critical for every
business to be as prepared as possible for a cyberattack and
to understand how to navigate through that moment should an
incident occur. In addition to making sure that business
leaders thoroughly understand the increasing number of policies and
regulations, it's critical for businesses to better educate their
customers and employees about how they can more securely interact
with an organization's network and protect their data. I'm
thrilled to be back at FleishmanHillard and bringing our firm's
expertise forward to help company leaders that have cybersecurity
at the top of their business agenda."
Radcliffe has worked across sectors with experience in
technology, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, food and
agriculture, government, gaming and financial services. In addition
to cybersecurity, he has expertise in corporate crisis and
reputation, executive communications, employee and internal
communications and product and innovation storytelling.
