Lacework is proud to present our second annual list of 50 CISOs to Watch, a compilation of the most visionary and effective cybersecurity leaders in the industry.
In a field driven by constant change, what sets a cybersecurity leader apart? Beyond technology, it’s their adaptability, creative problem-solving, and commitment to progress. The 50 CISOs to Watch in 2024 exemplify this. With new cybersecurity regulations like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) four-day incident reporting requirement and high-profile legal cases, the accountability and risk associated with CISOs’ roles have intensified. Recognizing the increasing challenges yet often underappreciated role of these professionals, we launched the 50 CISOs to Watch initiative last year to celebrate the CISOs demonstrating outstanding technical and leadership qualities. Now, we’re excited to continue the tradition for a second year.
The 50 CISOs to Watch in 2024 are shaping the future of cybersecurity with every decision they make. Not only are these CISOs problem solvers, negotiators, and mentors, but they’re also consultants, strategic thinkers, technical experts, educators, and crisis managers. They’re the ones making tough decisions in the boardroom, leading the charge in cybersecurity operations, simplifying technical concepts, and guiding companies through high-pressure situations. What truly distinguishes these CISOs is their nuanced understanding of AI and emerging technologies and ability to embrace change.
Meet the 50 CISOs to Watch in 2024.
