Chris Camacho — Co-Founder
What keeps security leaders up at night isn’t just threats. It’s the noise, the complexity, and the disconnect between data and action. I’ve spent over two decades in cybersecurity, leading global operations at Bank of America and securing institutions like The World Bank. After years on the enterprise side, I made the leap into the vendor world to help startups grow. That journey brought me to Flashpoint, where I helped scale the business through a successful private equity acquisition and multiple company integrations. I’ve been fortunate to build teams, shape threat intelligence strategy, and turn security operations into outcomes. Now, as Co-Founder and COO of Abstract Security, I focus on helping CISOs reduce noise, lower costs, and detect faster by rethinking how security data is used. I’ve always believed the best opportunities in this space come from real collaboration. That belief led me to start and lead NinjaJobs, which quickly became one of the top cybersecurity recruiting platforms and search firms on the market, built entirely through trusted relationships. While I’ve since sold the company, I remain passionate about helping friends land roles and enterprises find the right talent. C2 Corner is the next step in that mission. It is a space for security leaders to share stories, connect through experience, and build what’s next together.
