Talk:Phil Venables (computer scientist)

Edit request
This article is a bit thin, and is missing an infobox. I work with Phil Venables and know Wikipedia editing quite well, but also know with my COI I shouldn't edit his article directly. I put together a few edit requests below, with the Wiki code following Start:.


 * 1) Please add a simple infobox. Start:  ✅
 * 2) Please update the lead to replace the philvenables.com primary source with the white house source instead, and add that Phil had multiple roles at Goldman Sachs in addition to being on the board. There's no easy way to just show the simple changes, so I'm including text for a whole new lead. You can click on show changes to see what's different. Start: Phil Venables is a computer scientist who has been the chief information security officer (CISO) at Google Cloud since 2020. He specializes in information and cyber security, as well as enterprise risk and technology risk. Previous to Venable's position at Google, he held a number of roles at Goldman Sachs and served on the Board of Goldman Sachs Bank. Since 2021, he has also been a member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). ✅
 * 3) I'd like to improve Phil's bio by adding more sources, and adding additional accomplishments. This edit replaces the third paragraph in the career section by adding some of his notable board positions, and well as his roles with NIST and Sheltered Harbor. Start: He has been CISO at Google Cloud since 2020, and since 2021, he has been director at HackerOne, supply chain technology company Interos, and NIST's Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board. Over the years, Venables has served on multiple non-profit boards, including New York University Tandon School of Engineering, and New York University Stern School of Business' Business Volatility and Risk Institute, as well as co-chairing the board of consumer financial information protection organization Sheltered Harbor, and also co-founded and directed various initiatives of the U.S. Financial Services Sector. In 2000, he co-founded the Center for Internet Security (CIS), and served on its board from 2014 until 2020. ✅
 * 4) This edit is the next paragraph and adds his role on the BasllisticX advisory board. Start: In September 2022, Venables was named to the BallisticX cybersecurity advisory board for San Francisco-based Ballistic Ventures, an early-stage cybersecurity investment firm. ✅ Someone else did this earlier, but added a press release as a source.
 * 5) Finally, I'd like to highlight Phil's role on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, as well as his patent holdings. This is the next paragraph to the career section. Start: Venables serves on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, under President Biden. He also holds several information security-related patents, including designing a virtual wallet with cryptographic currency for securities settlement, and creating a method for assessing how vulnerable a network is to cyberthreats. ✅ KatelavoiemayerNectar (talk) 15:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
