Joe McMann is an enterprise defender at heart, with 20+ years of experience building and transforming security programs across Fortune 500 enterprises and some of the world's most critical environments. This gives him a strategic perspective on effectively scaling cybersecurity capabilities while staying closely connected to the practicality of front-line operations. His passion began in the early 2000s on the newly formed Lockheed Martin Computer Incident Response Team, where he spent over a decade on the front lines performing intrusion analysis, digital forensics, enterprise-scale incident response, and threat intelligence fusion, experience he later applied to lead cybersecurity program transformations across the U.S. government and Global 2000 organizations.

Over his career, Joe has held cybersecurity leadership roles at Lockheed Martin, Leidos, Capgemini, and Binary Defense, pairing hands-on operational expertise with a strategic approach to program maturity. Today, he serves as Field CISO for Dropzone AI, where he works with clients to ensure the Dropzone AI platform delivers the outcomes organizations need to secure and defend their environments.
