“Jason is an extraordinary talent and globally recognized expert on the evolving cyber threats that enterprises, individuals and governments increasingly face on a near-daily basis,” said Kroll CEO David Fontaine.
“In joining Kroll, he adds yet another element to our growing and accomplished team of cyber professionals.”
Smolanoff primarily worked through the FBI’s the Los Angeles field office from 2000 to 2011 and held positions at Stroz Friedberg and Tokyo Electron.
