— Twitter’s chief information security officer announced their resignation on Thursday, vacating one of the company’s most critical roles just as scrutiny is mounting over Twitter’s future and the erratic decisions of its new owner, Elon Musk.

In a tweet, Lea Kissner, the former CISO, said they were looking forward to figuring out their next steps.
“I’ve made the hard decision to leave Twitter,” Kissner tweeted. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I’m so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we’ve done.”
Kissner didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did they publicly offer their reasons for leaving Twitter, CNN reported.
Their resignation was the latest example of the internal turmoil that has rocked Twitter following mass layoffs at the company.
Kissner’s departure reportedly coincided with the resignations of multiple other top Twitter leaders Wednesday evening over fears about the company’s legal exposure before the Federal Trade Commission, according to an internal Slack message viewed by CNN.
