NEW YORK, December 13, 2022 – Dataminr, the leading real-time information discovery platform, today announced the appointment of three senior cyber and physical security leaders to its Corporate Market Advisory Board. These top industry leaders will help guide future strategic direction and empower Dataminr’s customers in critical industries with the capabilities needed to combat growing challenges at the intersection of cyber and physical security.
The advisory board, created in July, is chaired by Dave DeWalt, cybersecurity luminary and founder and managing director of NightDragon.

By assembling the top leaders in critical sectors like energy, transportation and government for its Corporate Market Advisory Board, Dataminr is positioning itself with the industry guidance and expertise to deliver the new products that customers need to mitigate these new risks, both today and for many years into the future,” said Dave DeWalt, chair of the advisory board and founder and managing director of NightDragon.
