ChicagoCISO

ChicagoCISO is the preeminent peer leadership network of Chicagoland chief information security officers. Our membership is comprised exclusively of CISOs (or equivalent executive roles) from public and private companies, government, education, healthcare and nonprofit organizations. Our mission is to build a strong, professional community among Chicagoland's information technology leaders, by providing a forum to share ideas, best practices and experiences relevant to CISOs. We create opportunities for technology leaders to engage in substantive, issues-based discussion related to their industries and profession. Members benefit by collaborating with others, building meaningful relationships, and promoting professional development through executive events that facilitate valuable interaction among senior-level experts. MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATION Members must be a Chicagoland CISO or equivalent senior technology leader for an organization with at least $100 million annual revenue. Organizations over $1 billion qualify for a second membership and organizations over $5 billion may enroll a third member – provided the organization’s primary technology leader is a member in good standing. ABOUT THE ORBIE AWARDS Established in 1998, the ORBIE® Awards is the premier technology executive recognition program in the United States. This annual event honors chief information security officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership.
