U.S.-based risk intelligence company Flashpoint appointed Andrew Borene as Executive Director for Global Business Development for its Flashpoint National Security Solutions (FNSS) business unit.
Based in London, Borene will assume responsibility for developing Flashpoint’s national security partnerships with US allies, including NATO and the Five Eyes, to drive mission success through open-source intelligence (OSINT) and cyber threat intelligence (CTI).
“I am thrilled to join Flashpoint’s worldwide effort in this strategically pivotal moment,” said Borene. “Free world powers in NATO, the Five Eyes, and global bilateral partners all need trusted platforms like Flashpoint in order to generate and share OSINT and CTI, and, most importantly, to develop an actionable threat picture that can cross national boundaries and close public-private sector gaps in cyberspace. Flashpoint’s National Security Solutions present a path to efficient security burden sharing and synchronizing diverse international security organizations.”
Borene brings more than 25 years of experience in intelligence, operations, cybersecurity, and investigations that have required leveraging international public-private partnerships. He is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), a licensed attorney, and most recently held senior roles in the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) leading teams and initiatives on OSINT research, privacy policy, counterintelligence, and international counterterrorism.
