SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Oct. 29, 2019) – Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), provider of an edge cloud platform, today announced Mike Johnson as its newly appointed Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The former Lyft CISO brings more than 20 years of experience in the security field to Fastly as it further commits to providing safe, reliable experiences to its customers and end users.
“Mike’s security philosophy aligns perfectly with Fastly's vision for securing the future of edge computing,” commented Paul Luongo, General Counsel and SVP of Trust at Fastly. “We’re thrilled to welcome Mike to our executive team, and look forward to continuing to build trust with our enterprise customers, and to strengthen our work as a security-first organization.”
