Scylos, the stateless endpoint infrastructure company, today announced the appointment of Dr. Chase Cunningham to its Board of Directors. Dr. Cunningham, widely known as Dr. Zero Trust, is a former NSA cybersecurity leader who will provide board-level guidance on threat-informed architecture, zero-trust execution, and market alignment as the company scales its platform across enterprise, regulated industries, and government sectors.
Dr. Cunningham is a nationally recognized cybersecurity leader with deep experience across intelligence, defense, and enterprise security. He previously served in senior cybersecurity roles supporting the National Security Agency and U.S. defense and intelligence missions, and is widely known for advancing zero-trust security models grounded in real-world adversarial behavior rather than theoretical compliance frameworks.
His appointment reflects the Scylos commitment to pairing technically rigorous infrastructure with governance and oversight informed by operational reality. From the board, Dr. Cunningham will help ensure that the Scylos architecture, positioning, and market engagement remain aligned with how security leaders, regulators, and operators actually evaluate and deploy critical infrastructure.
Chase understands how systems are actually attacked, not how we wish they were attacked. Equally important, he brings the discipline to pressure test strategy, architecture, and messaging against real-world threat models. His perspective helps ensure Scylos scales with credibility, clarity, and integrity.
As a board member, Dr. Cunningham will advise on threat-informed architectural principles, zero-trust execution discipline, and enterprise adoption considerations, particularly in environments where credibility, regulatory scrutiny, and operational clarity determine success.
