The duties of the CEO of a member association like (ISC)² are many, and part of the job is to be a strong voice for the membership in advocating for the cybersecurity profession. Clar Rosso took on that responsibility when she was appointed in October 2020. Ever since, she’s been representing the more than 160,000 current cybersecurity practitioners who have earned (ISC)² membership.
In addition to meeting with members and presenting to global (ISC)² Chapters, speaking on panels and attending online conferences, Clar has also conducted dozens of press interviews to bring more visibility to the profession and has hosted webinar events that explore some of the most pertinent topics for practitioners regarding workforce recruitment and retention and diversity. Following are a few examples:
