Jay Ribeiro, the chief information security officer (CISO) at the Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, plans to step down on August 26 after serving in the post since September 2018.
“Packing it all up. After 4 great years – time to accept another challenge … Thank you ATF for all the love and support,” Ribeiro said in a LinkedIn post.
