01 / WHY WE’RE HERE

CISO is more than a title.
It is a direction of responsibility.

You may be a security lead, a security manager, the person running security for a business or someone building toward that responsibility. The work matters more than the title on your profile.

This community connects people already doing the work with those preparing to step up. Not to pretend there is one right path, but to make every path a little less lonely.
