Career

Agcaoili started his career at General Electric.

He co-founded and was the Chief Information Security Officer of SecureIT in 1996, which was one of the first pure-play Internet security services providers that was acquired by Verisign in 1998 for $70M. After the acquisition, he became VeriSign's first CISO. He was an early foundation member at Internet Devices, which was acquired by Alcatel in 1999 for $180M. He was the Chief Security Architect at Scientific-Atlanta, which was acquired by Cisco in 2005 for $6.9B.

He co-founded the Southern CISO Security Council in 2006.

While at Dell in 2008, he set security standards for Cloud computing as a Founding Member and Steering Committee member of the Cloud Security Alliance. He co-invented and co-authored the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) in 2009 (versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2), co-founded the GRC Stack in 2010, and co-founded the Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR) in 2011.

Agcaoili was named the Chief Information Security Officer at Cox Communications in 2009.

He has helped shape cyber security best practices for U.S. Telecoms as a committee co-chair for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) II Work Group 2A (Cyber Security Best Practices) in 2010, served on the NCTA Cyber Security Work Group as an inaugural member, played an instrumental role in 2012 in the FCC CSRIC III Work Group 11 (Consensus Cyber Security Controls), served as a committee co-chair for cyber security on the Communications Sector Coordinating Council (CSCC), was a member of the Communications Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Communications ISAC), and was an industry representative on the National Coordinating Center for Communications (NCCC).

He was inducted into the Ponemon Institute as a Distinguished Fellow in 2011 and then appointed the Chairman of the Ponemon Institute Distinguished Fellows in 2012.

He has been instrumental in shaping United States cyber security efforts. Throughout 2013 he helped the National Institute of Standards and Technology develop the first version of the U.S. Cybersecurity Framework released as the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity on February 12, 2014. In 2013, Agcaoili was appointed as a co-chair for the FCC CSRIC IV Working Group 4 – Cybersecurity Best Practices in order to help operationalize the Framework into practice within the Communications sector by updating and aligning his previous effort co-chairing the FCC CSRIC II Work Group 2A (Cyber Security Best Practices) with the NIST CSF.

In 2013, through a partnership with the Cloud Security Alliance and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a team of industry experts and the founder of the Service Organization Control (SOC) released seminal guidance that reshaped how companies demonstrate and attest for their security and privacy practices by incorporating additional subject matter such as the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix in the type 2 SOC2 attestation standard and assessed using the AT 101 proven auditing principles. This replaced the SAS 70 auditing standard and augmented the successor, SSAE 16 SOC 1, to attest for internal controls over financial reporting.

.

Agcaoili was appointed the Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer of Elavon in 2014. He serves on the FS-ISAC and on the Payments Processing Information Sharing Council (PPISC).
