Keren joins from Qualtrics, where he served as CSO, and previously held the same role at PayPal. He brings over 25 years of cybersecurity experience, including founding two security companies and serving in Israel's defense forces. Keren has stated his focus will be on building security and trust into Meta's AI systems and infrastructure — a priority given Meta's $145 billion 2026 capital expenditure commitment largely directed at AI. The appointment comes after a notable security incident in June where hackers exploited a vulnerability in Meta's AI customer support chatbot to hijack over 20,000 Instagram accounts. Rosen will remain through a transition period before departing later this year. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
