About the National Education Council

The Education Council draws from its rich expertise to advise CyberRisk Alliance on the issues that matter most to CISOs and their teams and provide guidance to support the development of our new offerings. This diverse group is composed of seasoned cybersecurity leaders from a wide variety of industries and backgrounds to shape the educational and content strategy for our communities including CISOs, emerging leaders, practitioners, and technology partners.

In addition to attending and participating in quarterly meetings, members of our Education Council make suggestions on industry thought leaders and subject matter experts for our programming (webcasts, events) and respond to a brief, quarterly digital survey to help us understand what is top of mind for the cybersecurity ecosystem.
