Talha Tariq joins Vercel as CTO of Security
Talha Tariq, a veteran security leader from HashiCorp and IBM, has joined Vercel as CTO of Security to address growing security challenges as AI reshapes software development and deployment.
As AI reshapes how software is built and deployed, the surface area for attacks is growing rapidly. Developers are shipping faster than ever, and we’re seeing new code paths, new threat models, and new vulnerabilities.
That’s why I’m excited to share that Talha Tariq is joining Vercel as our CTO of Security.
Talha brings deep expertise in security at scale, having served as CISO & CIO at HashiCorp for seven years before becoming CTO (Security) at IBM following its acquisition. There, he oversaw security across all IBM divisions including software, AI, and post-quantum cryptography.
