Brennan was a top aide to former CIA director George Tenet during the time just after the 9/11 attacks when harsh interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding, were being used.

According to recent reports, Brennan has played a major role in boosting the U.S. arsenal in protecting the country from cyberattacks. |
