Former Uber Technologies security chief Joseph Sullivan was sentenced to three years' probation in federal court Thursday.

Mr. Sullivan was convicted of criminal obstruction charges by a jury in October, charges that stemmed from Uber's failure to report a data breach in 2016 while it was under investigation for an earlier cyber incident.

Federal prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 15 months in prison.

Mr. Sullivan was fired by Uber in 2017 after Dara Khosrowshahi took over as chief executive and ordered an investigation into the incident. Mr. Sullivan was charged by federal prosecutors in 2020.
