Henrik Smith

Henrik Smith is the chief information security officer of Infoblox, a role the network-services and security company announced he would take in June 2026.

Career path

Smith brings close to thirty years of security leadership across cloud security, enterprise security and risk management, according to the release announcing his hire.

He joins Infoblox directly from Amazon, where he was head of Security for Devices and Services, leading work to secure the company's consumer device ecosystem.

Before Amazon, Smith served as vice president of security at Salesforce, leading security strategy, risk remediation and security integration across the enterprise.

Earlier still, he held multiple leadership positions inside AWS Security, including as one of the founding members of the Office of the CISO and Security Assurance organizations.

Scope of the new role

Infoblox says Smith will lead its global security strategy, with a focus on cyber resilience, risk management and the secure growth of the business.

On the appointment, Smith said: "I'm excited to join the team and help further strengthen the company's security program while supporting its continued innovation and growth."

Infoblox chief executive Scott Harrell described Smith as a proven security leader with deep experience building and scaling security programs at some of the world's most influential technology companies.

About the employer

Infoblox describes itself as trusted by more than 5,700 customers, including most Fortune 100 companies, integrating, securing and automating critical network services so businesses can move without compromise.

The release does not say when Smith's Amazon, Salesforce or AWS tenures individually began or ended, so this profile leaves those dates unstated.
