In November 2017, Erin Nealy Cox became the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. Perhaps unique for a U.S. attorney, she has extensive background in cybersecurity, having worked as a senior adviser at McKinsey & Co. in the cybersecurity and risk practice; as an assistant U.S, attorney in the Northern District of Texas, where she prosecuted cyber crimes, white-collar crimes, and general crimes; and as a member of the executive team at Stroz Friedberg, a cybersecurity and investigations consulting firm.
Legaltech News recently asked her a series of questions on cyber issues and on her background. The Q&A has been slightly edited for consistency with ALM style.
