Gorman most recently was senior executive advisor for cybersecurity and advanced analytics at Booz Allen Hamilton, responsible for strategic planning and capability development for the firm’s cybersecurity portfolio. He rejoined Booz Allen Hamilton from the Office of Director of National Intelligence where he managed the Intelligence Community’s Incident Response Center. Prior to Booz Allen Hamilton, Gorman spent 10 years in the U.S. Air Force in the Electronic Security Command, Air Force Intelligence and Air Force Special Operations Command on assignments for the National Security Agency’s Central Security Service, the cryptologic support arm for the Department of Defense.
