This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
– Listen to the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast Interview
Sausalito, Calif. – May 8, 2024
The chief information security officer (CISO) role dates back to 1994, when financial services giant Citigroup (then Citicorp, ranked 17th on the Fortune 500 at the time) set up a specialized cybersecurity office after suffering a series of cyberattacks from Russian hackers. Steve Katz was anointed CISO.
Ed Amoroso is the world’s second-ever CISO, serving in the position for AT&T from 1999 until 2016.
In a recent episode on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast, Amoroso shared his background, as well as how the CISO position has evolved over 25 years, and his eBook, “Working from Home: A Guide to Navigating the New Normal.”
