Retail automotive technology company CDK Global has named David Hahn as chief information security officer.

Hahn in his new role is responsible for development of a global strategy and execution of the roadmap for managing technology risk and information security across the company’s IT, product engineering, and research and development departments.

He will also be a member of the executive leadership team.

Hahn has worked in information security as a business partner addressing what CDK Global describes as a continuously growing and complex cybersecurity landscape.

He recently served as chief security officer for Silicon Valley Bank. In that role, he worked on information security, physical security and business continuity.

Prior to that, his leadership positions took on increasing responsibility at Wells Fargo Bank, Intuit and Hearst Corp.

In addition, he serves as an advisory board member for companies including LogicHub, SafeBreach and Eclipz, with a focus on information security and risk management.

CDK Global executive vice president and chief product and technology officer Mahesh Shah said product security and protecting from, detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats are important in the company’s plan to innovate, scale and modernize its technologies.

“David’s diverse experience across information security — including fraud, identity, monitoring, application security and cloud enablement — helps us further ensure a safe, reliable network and suite of products for our customers, while protecting our organization.”

Hahn said he was happy to build a strategy for CDK Global that continues to ensure security for the company and its customers.

“My initial focus is to review our current state of information security, identify additional opportunities to further safeguard our data and information, and create a plan to mitigate future risk,” Hahn said.
