Speaker

Whitmore brings more than 16 years of experience at the intersection of national security, intelligence, and cybersecurity. Prior to joining Blackpoint, she served as a CIA Operations Officer and held intelligence roles supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. She later held executive leadership positions at Aon and CYPFER, where she advised organizations on cyber resilience and strategic risk. As Head of APG, Whitmore will lead Blackpoint’s threat research and intelligence initiatives while serving as the company’s voice on the evolving threat landscape. Working closely with Blackpoint’s Response Operations Center (B-ROC), she will transform frontline operational insights into actionable intelligence, industry research, and executive guidance for partners and the broader cybersecurity community. Under Whitmore’s leadership, APG will focus on transforming the real-time visibility generated through Blackpoint’s MDR platform and Security Operations Center into forward-looking intelligence that helps organizations anticipate and disrupt emerging threats. Her vision is to bridge the gap between what Blackpoint observes across thousands of environments and what defenders need to know, delivering not only indicators and alerts, but the context, analysis, and strategic guidance required to make confident security decisions. Drawing on her intelligence community experience, Whitmore aims to further establish APG as a trusted authority on adversary behavior, cyber risk, and the evolving tactics shaping the future of cybersecurity.
