Westby and her forensic experts have worked with some of the world’s largest corporations in managing breaches, investigating cyber security incidents, and providing forensic support to litigation teams. Westby’s work on the governance responsibilities of boards and senior executives for the privacy and security of their organizations’ systems and data was recently showcased by Carnegie Mellon CyLab.

Her previous experience also includes launching In-Q-Tel, a venture capital and IT solutions company founded and funded by the CIA, serving as director of domestic policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and practicing law with the New York firms of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Shearman & Sterling.
