Jacob Berry is the Chief Information Security Officer of Fable Security, appointed in June 2026.
Career path
Before joining Fable Security, Berry served as Field CISO at Clumio, a cloud data protection company.
His SecureWorld speaker profile describes more than fifteen years in cybersecurity spent moving through practitioner, leadership and go-to-market roles at companies ranging from startups to industry leaders.
Fable Security said Berry brings eighteen years of experience across technology and cybersecurity, including incident response, cyber operations, governance, compliance and broader security program leadership.
Fable Security, a secure behavior management platform that helps organizations reduce cybersecurity threats caused by employee behavior, announced his appointment as CISO on June 23, 2026.
Remit at Fable Security
In the role, Berry supports customers addressing risky employee behavior and security habits, while also helping ensure Fable Security's own platform remains secure.
"Most initial access comes from employees with the best intent making mistakes, choices for convenience and speed, or misjudgment, not malicious actors," Berry said.
He described secure behavior as both a psychological problem and a behavioral problem.
Fable Security's platform combines artificial intelligence and behavioral science to identify risky habits in real time and deliver targeted interventions meant to build stronger security habits at scale.
Fable Security CEO Nicole Jiang said Berry brings experience helping organizations solve complex security challenges and shares the company's view that secure behavior management is one of the most critical issues facing security teams.
Public talks
Berry has discussed the balance between security and business growth on an episode of a Silicon Valley security podcast, where he spoke about his path to leading security for a cloud data protection company and the complexities of managing security for cloud-based services. His SecureWorld profile notes that across his practitioner, leadership and go-to-market roles, he has focused on building security solutions that strengthen organizations without slowing them down.
