# What happened
GreyNoise Intelligence named Joe Lampert director of national security solutions. Lampert is a retired U.S. Army major and a cyberthreat intelligence professional who will lead the company's national security engagements and partnerships with the Department of Defense and the intelligence community.
# Why it matters
GreyNoise positions itself as a provider of real-time visibility into attack activity at the internet edge. Lampert's hire is part of a set of senior additions aimed at expanding GreyNoise's work with U.S. and allied government customers. His role is explicitly focused on helping mission customers use GreyNoise data to detect, prioritize, and counter threats before they reach intended targets.
# Who Lampert is
Lampert has more than 18 years of experience in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, consulting and leadership roles supporting defense and intelligence missions. He served more than 20 years in the U.S. Army, including intelligence and cyber warfare assignments that supported U.S. Cyber Command and U.S. Strategic Command. He began his career as an enlisted mental health specialist, later commissioned as a military intelligence officer and served as an analyst and cyber warfare officer.
# What he'll do at GreyNoise
Lampert will lead national security solutions efforts and oversee partnerships across defense and intelligence customers. His work centers on helping national security organizations get clearer visibility into activity along the internet edge and apply GreyNoise threat intelligence to operational missions. He described his approach in practical terms: understand the customer mission first, identify gaps, then align capabilities and partners as needed. He said, "I'm here to help any way I can."
On a team level he plans to develop as a leader and to mentor and coach colleagues.
# About GreyNoise and relevant capabilities
GreyNoise collects internet-facing telemetry through its Global Observation Grid—more than 5,000 sensors deployed across over 80 countries—that observes and classifies attack activity in real time. The company recently launched a command-and-control detection capability that flags communications between compromised assets and adversary infrastructure to give federal agencies earlier visibility into potential breaches.
# Bottom line
This hire signals GreyNoise's continued push to grow its federal and national security footprint by pairing its edge-focused telemetry and new detection features with leaders who have both operational and commercial account experience.
