LucidLink, a global leader in remote collaboration, announced Dr. Randall Magiera has been named Director of Information Security and Privacy. Randall will be responsible for scaling the company’s security and privacy programs, including compliance, certifications, and risk assessment. These programs will strengthen end-to-end data integrity for LucidLink services and business practices.
“We’ve always believed that security and data privacy are as much about protecting customer data as it is about safeguarding our own,” said Peter Thompson, co-founder, and CEO of LucidLink. “As our customer base expands to large enterprises with stringent compliance requirements, Randall’s experience in cloud security and complex policies for global operations is crucial to our business. He is a great addition to our team.”
Randall joined LucidLink from CloudCheckr, where he was responsible for security risk and compliance from 2019 until joining LucidLink in 2022. Before CloudCheckr, he held the Virtualization and Identity Management Admin & Deputy Information Security Officer position at Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) in New York. At FLCC, he developed the educational institution’s security strategies and led the design and execution of vulnerability and risk assessments, network hardening, disaster recovery planning, and attack surface optimization. Before FLCC, Randall was a senior associate in the Enterprise Risk Management division of Freed Maxick CPA. He provided information security and assurance consulting services to enterprise clients of Freed Maxick. Previous roles included IT engineering and technical admin support positions for cloud solutions, storage, and virtualization technologies. In addition to a business career, Randall is an adjunct professor teaching graduate-level information security and privacy classes for online programs.
