Rathbun has more than 25 years of experience in information technology and systems engineering, most recently as CSO for Two Sigma.
During his time as CSO at Two Sigma, a New York-based quantitative investment manager, Rathbun led a global security organization in guarding the firm’s systems, data, and intellectual property. Prior to that, he was CSO at Microsoft Azure Global where he was responsible for overseeing security, compliance, and security architecture.
Rathbun also previously served as Senior Vice President, Cyber Security Engineering at First Information Technology Services; an IT manager at The Bank of Washington; and a systems analyst at Siemens Business Services.
Rathbun commented:
“OCC serves a critical role in ensuring stability for the options industry, and I am honored to be appointed to lead the incredible team of security experts that safeguard OCC’s vital infrastructure. I look forward to working with Mark and the Security Services team to facilitate a smooth transition and to uphold OCC’s mission of ensuring confidence in the financial markets.”
Once Rathbun officially takes over the CSO role, he will be responsible for OCC’s Cyber Operations, Security Governance, Cyber Risk, Security Business Operations, Security Architecture and Engineering, and Security Red teams.
