Coviello is widely regarded as one of the security industry’s most respected and innovative leaders and is the former executive chairman and CEO of RSA, the security division of EMC, which he led for more than two decades.

Today Coviello serves on several boards, including, Synchrony Financial, Cylance, Bugcrowd and Capsule8.
