AT&T/WarnerMedia Vet Joins N-able Leadership Team as Head of Security
New chief security officer Dave MacKinnon is the latest addition to the N-able leadership team.
The SolarWinds MSP spinoff also hired Peter Anastos as executive vice president and general counsel. The spinoff should be complete later this spring.
As part of the N-able leadership team, MacKinnon will be responsible for the company’s information security operation. That includes product and application security, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and security incident response. He brings over 20 years of experience leading global security teams across various industries.
Most recently, he was AT&T/WarnerMedia‘s senior director of security operations and response. There, he implemented a security program managing incident response events.

“I am ready to dive into helping the product and technology teams continue to manage, monitor and secure the N-able infrastructure,” MacKinnon said. “The team at N-able has built a great security foundation. And my focus will be to continue building upon that and fully developing a program that is secure by design, so we can keep helping our partners manage, detect and respond to today’s threats.”
New General Counsel
Anastos previously served in senior leadership roles for both private and public companies. He has more than 20 years of general counsel experience, and will lead N-able‘s legal and corporate development functions. Most recently, he was Access Information Management’s general counsel.
