Relay Medical (RELA) has welcomed renowned cybersecurity expert Chris Blask to its Advisory Board.

Blask has nearly 30 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry. In addition to inventing one of the first firewall products, he built a multi-billion-dollar firewall business at Cisco Systems, co-authored the first book on SIEM, developed multi-decade national infrastructure plans, and has advised public and private organizations in every sector around the world.

In his role within the Office of Innovation at Unisys, Blask created and led the Operational Technology and IoT security practices, invented the Digital Bill of Materials structure and established the Unisys Marine Living Research Center.

Blask is also a founding Fellow of CS2AI, a non-profit international cybersecurity association. 

“The term ‘Software Bill of Materials’ appearing in the Presidential Executive Order of last week marks a significant change in cybersecurity and supply chain operations,” Blask commented. “Effectively operationalizing SBOMs into enterprise systems will come to define competitive effectiveness, both in cybersecurity and in business.

I am very much looking forward to working with the Cybeats leadership and the rest of the Advisory Board through this critical shift in the market.”

Yoav Raiter, CEO of Relay Medical, added,

“Chris’ expertise transcends the evolution of cybersecurity; he has a profound understanding of technology and how to protect devices and information from an enterprise level. With the progression of cyber infrastructure, threats have evolved to risk Internet of Things products. This is where Chris’ next invention mitigates vulnerabilities on a device level.”

Relay Medical is focused on the development of technologies in the diagnostics and AI data science and IoT security sectors.

Relay Medical (RELA) closed the day up 9.26 per cent trading at $0.295 per share.
