CISO Tribune

Updated with every record

New in seat

Every confirmed CISO appointment on the Wire from the past 13 weeks, grouped by the week it was announced, with the company's sector and region. For security leaders following their peers, and for companies and recruiters planning outreach: a new CISO is a new conversation, and this is the dated, sourced list of who just took the seat.

A move marked reported rests on one outlet's report; it is shown with its label and never counted as confirmed. Sector and region are facts about the organization, from the same classification as the Leadership Bench. Cite as “CISO Tribune Wire, cisotribune.com” with a link to the record; the full dataset and citation guidance are on the open dataset page.
