Before his appointment to the City of San José, Auston served as Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer at Versant Health, where he successfully built an enterprise-wide security program aligned with NIST standards. His initiatives included transforming the HITRUST certification process, automating IAM systems, and cultivating a security-first culture that significantly reduced phishing vulnerability rates and increased employee engagement.

Earlier, he was the VP and Associate CIO at HeartFlow, Inc., where he was also the company’s first CISO. Over his three-year tenure, Auston led a cloud transformation initiative, established a Security DevOps function, and implemented a Zero Trust architecture that enabled the company to pivot quickly to remote operations during the pandemic—all while managing a multimillion-dollar security budget and building a high-performing global team.

Prior to that, he held the role of Chief Information Security Officer at Stanford Children’s Health, where he led post-breach recovery initiatives across a 60-site healthcare network. His accomplishments included launching predictive threat analytics, reducing policy violations, and establishing the Stanford Health CISO Council to drive cost efficiencies and security standardization.

Auston’s extensive experience also includes key roles at Kaiser Permanente, Symantec, Visa USA, Merrill Lynch, and Stanford University, as well as two decades of service as a Special Agent with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations. His rich expertise spans cybercrime investigations, regulatory compliance, AI governance, incident response, and risk management.
