NEW YORK – Security Current, a knowledge- and content-sharing community for cybersecurity executives, has launched an exclusive platform for top global CISOs. CISOs interested in the invitation-only platform should contact arhodes@securitycurrent.com
The platform, called CISOs Connect, allows members to communicate and collaborate through shared CISO-generated reports, feature stories, white papers, podcasts, career opportunities and events.
“Peer interaction is always important, but in the past we did it in an ad hoc manner, or only if there was an opportunity to speak to one another,” said Matt Hollcraft, CISO of Maxim Integrated.
“CISOs Connect offers a more structured approach to staying in touch, sharing knowledge and collaborating with my peers. This formalized platform is vital in the field of cybersecurity.”
CISOs Connect allows members to send instant messages to the community and get involved in group discussions about issues common to them. Experts – lawyers and communications professionals, for instance – will be invited to join discussions on issues ranging from negotiating compensation and complying with data privacy requirements to managing PR fallouts of security breaches.
“CISOs Connect is a knowledge sharing platform that will be a valuable tool in the arsenal of cybersecurity executives,” said Aimee Rhodes, CEO of Security Current.
“It will enable CISOs to communicate with each other and knowledge share in real time.”
The platform was launched at the CISOs Connect 2018 conference in San Diego in late June. The conference, attended by 30 CISOs of large organizations from across industry sectors, was led by Federal Reserve CISO Devon Bryan and the CISO governing board.
Chris Mandelaris, CISO of Chemical Bank, hosted the three-day conference, where attendees discussed and joined workshops on cybersecurity, communications and leadership.
