L3Harris Technologies’ board of directors has promoted Sam Mehta to chief executive from his former role as president of space and mission systems in an abrupt leadership change announced Monday.
Chris Kubasik, L3Harris’ CEO since June 2021, stepped down from that position and his other roles as chairman and member of the board of directors effective immediately.
L3Harris said the board determined to enter into a separation agreement with Kubasik after an investigation found conduct by him that was “not consistent with the values of the company as outlined in its code of conduct.” The company added the alleged conduct was not related to its financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance.
Mehta joined L3Harris in 2023 as president of the communications segment, then added the additional title of president of the space and mission systems segment at the start of this year.
This transition at the very top of L3Harris is taking place in a year where the company announced its intentions to take the missile solutions segment public following a $1 billion investment from the Defense Department.
L3Harris originally eyed the second half of this year for the initial public offering, but Kubasik told investors in July that the IPO is being delayed until at least mid-2027 because of market conditions the company sees as not reflecting the value of Mission Solutions.
Kubasik’s tenure as CEO started with the completion of the integration of L3 Technologies and Harris Corp. following their merger in 2019, and includes the $4.7 billion acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne in 2023.
The pending Missile Solutions IPO is not the only move L3Harris has undertaken with respect to its space business. L3Harris closed the sale of a 60% stake in the space propulsion and power systems business this month to AE Industrial Partners, while retaining a 40% stake.
In addition to Mehta’s promotion, Lauren Barnes has moved up to be president of the space and mission systems segment from her prior role as president of spectrum superiority. Christopher Aebli, formerly president of mission critical communications, was elevated to president of the communications and spectrum dominance.
Lewis Hay III, a member of the L3Harris and a predecessor board since 2002, was elected chairman after previously holding the title of lead independent director.

The expensive attacks are not always the clever ones. This week had plenty of proof. Exposed services got hit, old bugs found fresh use, browser sessions became attack paths, and supply-chain problems kept spreading farther than the original compromise. A lot of it came down to access that was already there and defenses that assumed nobody would look too closely. So, nothing magical. Just a

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 17, 2026Cybersecurity Ventures launched a Platinum Media Program for VC funded startups, emerging players, and the largest brands in the cybersecurity industry.
“If your target market is CISOs at Fortune 500, Global 2000, and midmarket companies, then our new program is for you,” says Steve Morgan, founder of Cybersecurity Ventures and Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine.
Platinum clients are cybersecurity companies with a quarterly or monthly series on the award-winning Cybercrime Magazine YouTube Channel, which has more than 1.2 million subscribers (the most for a b2b focused cybersecurity channel) and many more viewers globally.
Cybercrime Magazine has produced 500+ videos, including 60-second elevator pitches, 90-second product demos, 2-3 minute company profiles, 15-30 minute interviews and roundtables, 10-30 minute documentaries, as well as fireside chats and presentations at live venues.
YouTube is a powerhouse for marketing because of its vast user base, high engagement rates with video content, and ability to boost brand awareness, drive traffic, and build trust through educational and engaging content, all while leveraging the power of Google’s search engine.
YouTube also functions as the world’s second-largest search engine (behind its parent). It allows businesses to build long-term trust, educate buyers, and capture high-intent prospects who are actively searching for product solutions. Video content also compounds in value over time, unlike fleeting social media posts.
Video builds immediate familiarity by letting audiences see faces, hear voices, and experience corporate culture. B2B offerings — such as cybersecurity software and solutions — are much easier to demonstrate using deep-dive b-roll and product walkthroughs.
AI models (like Gemini and ChatGPT) frequently cite and pull context from YouTube transcripts and metadata, making video an essential part of modern Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
As one of the world’s largest social media platforms with more than 2.7 billion monthly users, YouTube can help brands reach their audience at scale. But the platform offers more than visibility; it’s become one of the primary ways customers discover products and make purchasing decisions, according to Salesforce. This means it gives brands the chance to engage at every stage of the sales funnel. As such, YouTube marketing is now a must-have for brands that want to get discovered, build trust, and drive demand at scale.

MCP servers can expose enterprise secrets through plaintext configuration files, over-permissioned access and prompt injection, often before security teams even know the server is running. As more organizations adopt AI agents into their systems, that exposure can silently become a major gap in MCP server security. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI agents to reach the tools and data,
