One of Wall Street’s top cybersecurity czars is leaving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to help take charge of the cleanup at Capital One Financial Corp., which was left reeling after one of the largest data breaches at a major U.S. bank.
Andy Ozment, previously a senior cyber official in President Barack Obama’s administration, is leaving Goldman three years after becoming the firm’s leading information-security executive. The 42-year-old is taking on a more expanded role at one of the country’s top credit-card issuers, which announced last year that a hacker had illegally tapped into data on more than 100 million customers.
