iVerify, the leader in advanced mobile endpoint detection and response (EDR), announced an expansion to its CISO advisory board with the appointment of industry veteran Gary Hayslip to help the company further its mission of closing the mobile security gap.
Hayslip joins the board at a critical time for security teams. 2025 set new records for total losses from cyberattacks, including the costliest cyber incident in the U.K.’s history, the fallout of which continues almost six months later. Many of these breaches weren’t driven by zero-days or exotic malware, but by repeatable tactics anyone can use: mobile-first access abuse, vishing, help-desk impersonation and SIM swaps. Groups like Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters ravaged industry after industry with the same strategy; exploiting mobile-based authentication protocols to steal credentials and gain entry to corporate networks.
“Mobile sits at the nexus of everything from conducting business and authenticating identity to accessing government services and enabling our daily lives; yet, phones largely remain unprotected,” said Hayslip. “No other business tool is left unguarded like this – even AI, the newcomer in security, has already spawned an entire ecosystem of startups to secure enterprise deployments, while mobile phones continue to be a blind spot that needs to be addressed. It’s this challenge, and the solution iVerify has developed, that made me want to advise this talented team.”

“We’re thrilled to be able to tap the depth of experience and caliber of expertise that Gary brings to the advisory role,” said Danny Rogers, CEO of iVerify. “Mobile security has been the organizational fight nobody wanted to pick, thanks to myriad privacy concerns, employee pushback, unclear legal boundaries, and competing priorities. The mobile-first tactics of cybercriminal groups, the proliferation of commercial spyware increasingly targeting business leaders and access brokers, and telecom network infiltration by groups such as Salt Typhoon make clear that this blind spot is too costly to continue ignoring. Businesses without a mobile strategy in 2026 are sitting ducks.”
