Alissa Johnson knows full well that when it comes to securing a diverse, distributed enterprise like Xerox, there is no one single technology that is sufficient.

Johnson is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Xerox, a post she has held since October 2016. She is also well know in the cybersecurity industry for her role as the Deputy Chief Information Officer in the White House, which she held from 2012 until 2015. In a video interview with eWEEK, Johnson outlines her approach to security at Xerox as well as the intersection between threats faced by the U.S. Government and those faced by commercial enterprises.
