Resecurity has also hired Darrell M. Blocker, a 28-year veteran of the CIA's Secret Service, as a senior advisor.
“We are honored to welcome Darrell Blocker to Resecurity,” said Gene Yu, CEO of Resecurity. “His exceptional experience in intelligence, counterterrorism and global security operations will be a tremendous asset to our team. Darryl's operational leadership and strategic foresight will help us continue to deliver world-class cybersecurity solutions to organizations around the world.”
Mr. Blocker's distinguished CIA career included senior-level roles in various regions and international operations. Notably, he served as Deputy Director of the Counterterrorism Center, Chief of the Africa Division, and Head of Training at the CIA's famous training facility. His experience in these roles has shaped America's national security policies and developed the next generation of intelligence officers. His global experience as station chief and in various field positions has contributed to his deep understanding of both covert operations and international security challenges.
Blocker founded DMB Consulting Services after retiring from the CIA in 2018 as the most senior Black officer in the Directorate of Operations, the agency's elite branch responsible for running covert operations globally. Since then, he has continued his influence in the intelligence field as a consultant and commentator, while also serving as Vice Chairman of MOSAIC, an intelligence and consulting firm. He is also an on-air contributor to ABC News, where he provides expertise on national security issues.
Beyond his work in intelligence, Blocker remains deeply involved in public service. He sits on the board of directors of a non-profit organization dedicated to improving opportunities for children in foster care and advises a second non-profit organization focused on combating human trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable women and youth. His dedication to these issues underscores his commitment to leveraging his experience for the betterment of society, a mission that aligns strongly with Resecurity's own values.
“Resecurity aims to provide more than just technology solutions,” Yu added. “We want to create a team that understands the larger security landscape.” “Daryl’s deep knowledge of international security, intelligence operations and counterterrorism will significantly enhance our cybersecurity offerings and strategic initiatives.”
“With the increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats, it is important to have leaders who understand how cyber defense intersects with global security,” Mr. Blocker said. “Resecurity's vision aligns with mine, and I'm excited to contribute to their efforts to secure organizations and protect critical infrastructure from ever-evolving threats.”
