Latha Maripuri

Latha Maripuri is chief information security officer of Nscale, which announced her appointment on February 26, 2026 to spearhead the company's global security strategy, engineering and operations. Nscale describes itself as building the global hyperscaler engineered for AI infrastructure, delivering the compute foundation for enterprise AI training, fine-tuning and inference at scale.

Career path

Immediately before Nscale, Maripuri served as CISO at Uber, where the company's press release says she led a comprehensive transformation of its cybersecurity strategy and organization. Before Uber, she was global CISO and deputy CTO at News Corp, and earlier in her career she held several product and technical leadership roles at IBM. SecurityWeek's industry-moves roundup for the Week of February 23, 2026 independently records the same move, describing her as bringing over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and engineering to Nscale. SecurityWeek's own framing of the company, as an AI infrastructure firm defining its global security vision, matches the language Nscale used for the job in its own announcement.

The Nscale mandate

Nscale's release says Maripuri will define and execute the company's global security vision, engineering protection into every layer of its platform, infrastructure, operations and culture from the start, with full accountability across physical security, information security, infrastructure security and supply chain security. The release frames that mandate around the company's own description of what is at stake, saying Nscale operates and safeguards some of the most critical intellectual property and data its customers own.

Neither source dates the individual years of her Uber, News Corp or IBM tenures, so this profile reports their sequence without attempting to assign start or end years to each one.
