On January 29, SpyCloud, the leader in identity threat protection, marks the start of their tenth year of disrupting cybercrime by announcing the promotion of two tenured leaders to newly created executive roles, reflecting their sustained impact on the company’s growth, innovation, and leadership in disrupting cybercrime.
Trevor Hilligoss has been promoted to chief intelligence officer, and Jason Lancaster has been named chief investigations officer. Together, Hilligoss and Lancaster are instrumental in leading SpyCloud’s most mission-critical data collection, cybercrime research, and threat actor attribution, the company said.
Hilligoss oversees SpyCloud’s global intelligence strategy, advancing research into cybercriminal tactics and driving the exposed data collection that fuels identity-based attacks. His distinguished background, including experience with the FBI and the U.S. Army, informs his approach to translating raw data into actionable insights that strengthen customer defenses, support responsible disclosures, and enable proactive identity threat prevention.
Hilligoss also continues to lead SpyCloud Labs, SpyCloud’s in-house security research team recently named Cyber Security Excellence Awards “Cybersecurity Team of the Year”. In this capacity, he directs a world-class group of security researchers and analysts who analyze underground data, reverse-engineer malware, track and assess evolving phishing kits, and provide responsible disclosures to victim organizations. Under his leadership, SpyCloud leverages the industry’s largest repository of recaptured darknet data – nearly a trillion identity assets – to publish proprietary research that exposes emerging threats and shapes the broader identity security landscape.
As chief investigations officer, Lancaster leads SpyCloud’s global investigations strategy, including the methodologies and tradecraft that enable organizations to uncover hidden threats and accelerate attribution. Since joining SpyCloud in 2017, Lancaster has played a pivotal role in building and scaling the SpyCloud Investigations and Solution Engineering team and fostering strong public-private partnerships to disrupt cybercriminal activity.
Lancaster has led the creation of some of SpyCloud’s most innovative technologies, including IDLink, an advanced analytics capability built on decades of investigative tradecraft and team methodology that facilitates rapid identity resolution by correlating holistic identities across fragmented darknet exposures. He has also guided the development of AI Insights into SpyCloud’s Investigations solution, enabling analysts of all experience levels to uncover critical findings, like potential insider threats, more quickly and reduce investigative dead ends.
“Trevor and Jason have been foundational to SpyCloud’s success and to our leadership in identity threat protection. Their teams consistently deliver the innovation our customers rely on to understand and disrupt identity-based threats at scale. These promotions recognize not only their individual leadership, but also the critical role their teams play in advancing our mission to stop cybercriminals from profiting off stolen identity data,” said Ted Ross, CEO and co-founder of SpyCloud.
