Timothy Lee

Operator. Architect. Advisor.

Timothy Lee is a veteran security executive who has spent his career protecting some of the most complex public environments in the United States. He founded YUZANA.AI to bridge the gap between the promise of security technology and the reality of operational defense.

Defense at Scale

Timothy's approach is defined by operational reality. Before leading the City's overall strategy, he established the cybersecurity program at the Port of Los Angeles, designing and implementing the nation's first maritime Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) to secure the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere.

He later served as the Chief Information Security Officer for the City of Los Angeles, where he established the City's Critical Infrastructure Protection program—securing the digital and physical lifelines of America's second-largest metropolis. There, he directed the award-winning Integrated Security Operations Center (ISOC), a command hub processing over one billion security events daily.

Collaborative Intelligence

Timothy founded the LA Cyber Lab, the nation's first city-led public-private partnership, to fundamentally change how government and business share threat intelligence.

Timothy is a frequent speaker at various national and international conferences.
