The appointment deepens SecurityScorecard’s work with governments and critical infrastructure operators in Canada and allied nations as they confront third-party cyber risk.Khoury retired in July 2026 as the Government of Canada Senior Official for Cyber Security, where he represented Canada globally, engaging leaders on cyber resilience, supply chain risk, public-private collaboration, and other critical cybersecurity challenges while building lasting partnerships across government, industry, and the international community. He also advised senior Canadian officials on cybersecurity. From 2021 to 2024, he led the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, Canada’s national technical authority for cybersecurity and a key partner to government, critical infrastructure, industry, and international allies.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

It moves across interconnected supply chains in real time. Sami understands how to bring government, industry, and international partners together to act on that risk. His leadership will be invaluable as we help public-sector organizations in Canada and around the world take a more continuous, threat-informed, and AI-powered approach to cybersecurity.”Khoury’s experience leading national cyber defense and building partnerships across government, industry, and international allies aligns directly with SecurityScorecard’s work helping public sector and critical infrastructure owners and operators move from compliance-driven programs to continuous, threat-informed monitoring of the vendor ecosystems they depend on.“Governments and critical infrastructure operators depend on ecosystems of suppliers and technology providers they neither own nor fully see,” said Khoury. “Resilience now rests on being able to watch that ecosystem continuously and act on what you find. I look forward to helping SecurityScorecard bring that visibility to public-sector organizations here in Canada and among our allies.”Khoury spent more than three decades at the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), joining the organization as a research engineer in 1992 and advancing through multiple senior operational, technology, and executive roles. Over the course of his tenure, he served as Assistant Deputy Minister for Enterprise Technologies and Solutions and as CSE Chief Information Officer, leading CSE’s research program and 24/7 Operations Centre.Khoury will provide strategic counsel as SecurityScorecard expands its work with public-sector organizations and critical infrastructure around the world, helping inform how continuous intelligence, AI-accelerated workflows, and threat-informed risk management can strengthen the resilience of government supply chains and the essential services they support.SecurityScorecard’s TITAN AI platform unifies third-party risk data with advanced threat intelligence, including internet scanning capabilities from Driftnet, to provide organizations with a continuously updated view of risk across their supply chains. By bringing threat intelligence directly into TPRM workflows, organizations can move beyond passive monitoring and compliance-driven assessments to understand which exposures pose the greatest risk and take action faster.Khoury holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and a Master of Applied Science from Concordia University, and a certificate in Public Sector Leadership from the University of Ottawa. He has been recognized for his contributions to public service and innovation with honors including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the APEX Award of Excellence for Innovation.To learn more about SecurityScorecard and its work with the public sector, please visit securityscorecard.com.SecurityScorecard is the global leader in threat-informed third-party risk management (TPRM), securing the world’s supply chains.
