Samir Jain, a top cybersecurity official in the Obama administration, has found a new home at Jones Day in Washington, D.C.

Jain had been the senior director for cybersecurity policy at the National Security Council since January 2016, after serving for about two years as an associate deputy attorney general at the Justice Department. He was at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr as an associate and then a partner for almost two decades before he joined government.

Jain, 48, led a group at the White House that responded to cyber threats and pursued anti-hacking initiatives, including a deal between the United States and China. He worked closely with President Barack Obama's national security and homeland security advisers, Lisa Monaco and Susan Rice, and with former deputy attorney general Sally Yates.
