TikTok's Chief Security Officer Leaving; Company Says Departure Pre-Planned

TikTok’s chief security officer will step back from that role in September, the company said, in a move the company said wasn’t related to widening concerns in Washington over the security risks posed by the popular short-video app. Roland Cloutier, global chief security officer for the video-sharing app owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., will stay on as a strategic adviser focused on the business impact of security programs, the company said.
