  Lauren Zabierek is a Senior Policy Advisor in the Cybersecurity Division at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.  Previously, she was the Executive Director of the Cyber Project at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center. She came to this role as a 2019 graduate of the Kennedy School's mid-career MPA program.  Her work focused on strategic, national security issues in cyber and tech--ranging from international conflict, cooperation, and norms to domestic collaboration, diversity, privacy, and supply chain issues.  She was also the first woman participant in the Elbe Group discussions on cybersecurity, having been a part of the cyber-focused dialogue in 2019 in Stockholm, Sweden and again in 2021 virtually.

Lauren is the co-founder of the online social media movement called #ShareTheMicInCyber, which aims to dismantle racism in cybersecurity and privacy. #ShareTheMicInCyber started as an online conversation on Twitter and LinkedIn but has become so much more--it is breaking down barriers in the cyber industry through individual and collective action. Since its inception, the movement has garnered over 100 million Twitter impressions and featured participation by the nation's cyber leaders.
