Today, the company is excited to announce that it has added a chief information officer and chief information security officer to its senior executive team, a new expanded role for CareerBuilder that focuses on both security and innovation. It is one of the first of its kind in the industry.
Joining CareerBuilder is Anthony Dupree, a top innovator in cybersecurity with a career spanning more than two decades.

He is responsible for directing CareerBuilder's global IT and information security vision, policies and programs to execute a state-of-the-art defense.
"Employers need to be hypervigiliant in today's environment where there is a large and growing number of cyber threats," said Irina Novoselsky, President and COO of CareerBuilder. "A key focus for CareerBuilder is providing the most comprehensive security in the industry, and having Anthony on board underscores our commitment to anticipating and proactively addressing future vulnerabilities. Anthony is an established thought leader with deep expertise in building watertight security and technology, and his unique role will set new standards for the industry."
"One of the reasons why I was drawn to CareerBuilder is that security is not just a priority for the organization, it is ingrained in the company culture," Dupree said. "At the core of CareerBuilder's structure is an indepth, multi-layered defense model that combines the power of people, technology and operations to ensure the company and its partners are protected. This model puts us in the best position to safeguard against outside threats, and I look forward to building upon it in exciting new ways."
