Leadership Team at D.C.-based Enterprise Data Privacy Innovator

WASHINGTON (BUSINESS WIRE) lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/cybersecurity?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#cybersecuritylt;/agt; Virtru ,

an innovator in enterprise data protection and

data

, has added Dr. Andrea Little Limbago to its

leadership team as chief social scientist. Limbago brings a combination

of data privacy and security policy, user experience and cybersecurity

expertise to the role. She will help steer Virtru’s contributions to the

growing national and international data privacy dialogue, while

delivering cutting-edge and intuitive data protection technologies that

empower enterprises.

Limbago has previously provided computational social science leadership

in the Department of Defense (DOD), building technical teams that focus

on building software at the intersection of human and computer

interaction. For almost two decades, Limbago has researched and

presented on the impact of the shifting data environments on democratic

values, geopolitical shifts, and economic security. Her doctoral studies

focused on the intersection of conflict, financial flows and domestic

institutions, which quickly transitioned into related research at the

Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC). While at JWAC, Limbago was the

technical lead of a team of computational social scientists, and earned

the command’s top award for technical support across the DOD.

Most recently, Limbago was the chief social scientist at Endgame, a

cybersecurity software company. While there, she spoke extensively

across the information security community, academia, and government,

introducing applied social science research and analyses to a range of

technical trends and challenges. Limbago will expand this footprint in

her new position at Virtru to focus even more explicitly on the

intersection of data privacy, data protection and national security and

geopolitics.

“We’re honored to welcome Dr. Limbago to our fast-growing team, where

she will help us continue to address data privacy as a fundamental

right,” said Virtru Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer John Ackerly.

“By building software solutions that return and retain ownership of data

to enterprises, we empower organizations to build an enterprise-wide

culture of data privacy. Based on her previous work and experience,

Andrea will make an immediate impact.”
