BreachRx, the leader in cyber incident response management (CIRM), today announced that Phil Venables, Partner at Ballistic Ventures and one of the world’s most respected cybersecurity and risk leaders, joins the company’s Board of Directors. Venables brings decades of experience advising boards, executives, CISOs, and technology leaders on cybersecurity, governance, and risk. He previously served as Chief Information Security Officer at both Google Cloud and at Goldman Sachs. At Ballistic Ventures, Venables works with category-defining cybersecurity companies addressing the most urgent challenges facing modern enterprises. His appointment comes as organizations face a new scaling crisis in incident response. Cyber incidents, privacy events, operational disruptions, third-party failures, rogue agents, and AI-driven threats are becoming relentless, operating without time zones, at machine speed, without human fatigue. AI is also lowering the barrier to advanced offensive capabilities, accelerating the speed and scale at which vulnerabilities can be discovered, exploited, and operationalized. CISOs now operate under compressed response windows, while managing more stakeholders, tighter disclosure windows, more regulatory obligations, and board-level scrutiny.

“Phil is the standard bearer for how CISOs should approach business disruption and incident response,” said Andy Lunsford, CEO of BreachRx. “His perspective is perfectly aligned with the problem we built BreachRx to solve. The attacks are hitting us at machine speed, but our response is often siloed, chaotic, and ill-equipped to evolving AI threats. Companies need clear ownership, a single source of truth, structured workflows, and the ability to make aligned cross-functional decisions with incidents that can develop at machine speed. Phil’s experience with CISOs, boards, and regulators will be invaluable as we scale BreachRx adoption.”
