Talha Tariq Joins Vercel as Chief Security Officer

As AI reshapes how software is built and deployed, the surface area for attacks is growing rapidly. Developers are shipping faster than ever, and we’re seeing new code paths, new threat models, and new vulnerabilities.

That’s why I’m excited to share that Talha Tariq is joining Vercel as our CTO of Security.

Talha brings deep expertise in security at scale, having served as CISO & CIO at HashiCorp for seven years before becoming CTO (Security) at IBM following its acquisition. There, he oversaw security across all IBM divisions including software, AI, and post-quantum cryptography.
