“After serving as a CISO in a variety of industries and leading security teams at Fortune 500 companies, I've seen the effects that national cybersecurity legislation and policies can have on business. As a member of the NTSC board, I look forward to working with CISOs from a variety of backgrounds to offer my insights and engage in dialogue with policymakers on Capitol Hill,” she said.
The NTSC helps CISOs advocate for legislative and regulatory policy changes, create and continue a dialog on the cybersecurity issues, laws and regulations and engage with elected officials on all other topics confronting the industry.
