SASC cyber expert takes to the cloud with Microsoft

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 3, 2018

A longtime Senate Armed Services Committee aide has finally left the Hill for Microsoft Azure, the tech giant's cloud-computing service.

Daniel Lerner had worked as a SASC professional staff member since 2009, most recently for both the Cybersecurity and Strategic Forces subcommittees. He joins Azure this month as government affairs director after finishing a concurrent cybersecurity fellowship at CSIS.

Microsoft is on track to spend nearly $14 million on federal lobbying this year, including more than $9 million through its in-house team.
