Robert “Bob” Trono
Vice President & Chief Security Officer, Lockheed Martin Corp.
The U.S. military industrial base is targeted by foreign adversaries virtually every day. Bob Trono and the 2,000 security professionals he leads are tasked with protecting the corporation’s people, classified information, networks, intellectual property, physical property and facilities around the world from those threats.
Trono is a 15-year veteran of Lockheed Martin. He possesses a wealth of knowledge in security and law enforcement across state and federal government, previously serving as the deputy director of the U.S. Marshals Service and as senior counsel to the deputy attorney general at the Justice Department. He’s also spent time as both a state and federal prosecutor.
Using his public service background, Trono has executed a multifaceted approach to risk mitigation and threat protection at Lockheed Martin.
“One of the principal ways to understand the nature of the threat against our company is through cooperative efforts with federal investigative and law enforcement partners,” Trono said. “Open communication with our government counterparts is important, particularly in the defense industrial base, where malicious actors are a serious threat to national security.”
Why Watch
The global security environment has never been more dynamic than it is today. Understanding the nature of the threat against Lockheed Martin and identifying malicious efforts requires a world-class security organization providing proactive and timely global monitoring and crisis management solutions.
Trono has built a team that has and will continue to deliver innovative global threat intelligence and analysis capabilities and crisis management communications, coordination and collaboration services in the face of evolving geopolitical challenges.
