06 Dec List of Fortune 500 Chief Information Security Officers
CISO 500 Data File, 2020 Edition
The CISO 500 Data File is the ultimate tool for cybersecurity companies that sell products and services to Fortune 500 companies.
In total, Fortune 500 companies represent two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) with $13.7 trillion in revenues, $1.1 trillion in profits, $22.6 trillion in market value, and employ 28.7 million people worldwide, according to Fortune Magazine.
Chief information security officers (CISOs) at Fortune 500 companies are the ultimate decision makers for cybersecurity products and services. But, many CISO names are elusive and not as easy to find as a LinkedIn or Google search. The average tenure of a CISO is short, which makes it hard to stay current on who’s who.
The researchers at Cybersecurity Ventures painstakingly compile our list of CISOs at the 500 largest corporations in the United States each year, and we continuously update the names. The ROI is exceptional. It’s like having your own part-time research team.

HOW IT WORKS
The CISO 500 can be used on its own or in conjunction with other tools.
Use the free publicly available Fortune 500 database from Fortune Magazine to search and sort corporations by sector, industry, HQ city, HQ state, and numerous other criteria.
Then dive into the CISO 500 Data File and instantly find contacts for the companies that you’re interested in.
The spreadsheet can also be used on its own to search and sort all 500 of the CISOs. Each name includes title, location, email address (not shown below) and Twitter handle (when present).
The researchers at Cybersecurity Ventures continuously update the data file, and we will replace any inaccurate contact information.
A download of the spreadsheet, with all contact information, is available in .xls, .csv, and .tsv file formats. This makes it easy to import the CISO contact data into your CRM and other systems.
Each name provides a hyperlink to the CISO’s LinkedIn profile, which is free to the public and enables you to view more information.
If you have a LinkedIn account, then you can invite CISOs to connect with you. A premium account enables you to send messages even if a contact is not a 1st connection.
The least expensive, fastest, and most productive way to find and connect with F500 CISOs is to use the powerful combination of the Fortune 500 list, the CISO 500 Data File, and LinkedIn.

COST
The CISO 500 Data File is a fraction of the cost involved with researching, compiling, and updating a Fortune 500 CISO list on your own. It’s also less expensive than buying org charts and other complex contact information if all you want to do is start at the top — with the chief cybersecurity decision makers.
We offer a single-user or multi-user one-year subscription to the data file.
