Peiter Zatko has taken up a position at security firm Rapid7, his first job since being fired as head of security at Twitter.

The veteran hacker and security expert is expected to work closely with consulting clients at the firm. The Washington Post reported that Zatko will act in an advisory capacity at the company, and will maintain a position similar to that of an executive.

“Peiter and I have a longstanding relationship and have spoken at length about the importance of data and research when it comes to measuring cyber security programme effectiveness,” said Corey Thomas, CEO at Rapid7, in a statement to Silicon Republic.

“In order to move our industry forward, we must educate organisations on how and what to measure to ensure we are making the right investment.

“Peiter’s extensive experience in this field and his work around measuring cyber security practices will be invaluable for both Rapid7 and our customers. I am very much looking forward to working with him in the coming months.”

Zatko left Twitter firm in January 2022, amidst a shakeup in the chain of command shortly after former CEO Parag Agrawal succeeded Jack Dorsey. Months after, Zatko submitted more than 200 pages of complaints to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) detailing alleged malpractice by the company.
