Accuvant,
the authoritative source for enterprise information security, today
announced that former Aon plc vice president and global chief
information security officer (CISO) Michael Eisenberg has joined the
company as a vice president in the Accuvant Office of the CISO. In his
new role, Eisenberg is responsible for providing guidance to security
leaders within enterprise-level organizations to enable them to think
differently about security strategies so they can change, innovate and
be more successful.
Eisenberg brings more than 20 years of information security experience
to Accuvant. While at Aon, he was responsible for implementing a global
information security program that delivered an information protection
and governance framework in accordance with Aon’s business objectives
while enabling global business growth. He established strategy, policy,
and standards while ensuring the protection of Aon’s information assets.
Prior to Aon, Eisenberg held several roles at McDonald’s including
serving as the organization’s global information security program
director. During his tenure, he was accountable for all aspects of the
global information security and risk management program, the governance
of outsourced security providers, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Prior to his private sector experience, Eisenberg received formal
training in information security from the U.S. Air Force, where he held
a top secret clearance and worked on classified simulator systems.
“The increased prevalence and complexity of cyber attacks has made
information security a board-level issue at corporations across the
world,” said Jason Clark, Accuvant’s chief security and strategy
officer. “Michael offers Accuvant’s clients his expertise and advice
gleaned from real-world experiences of protecting the data of two of the
nation’s largest brands. We look forward to working closely with Michael
to help more organizations visualize and communicate their security
strategies and priorities so they can create clear paths to success.”
The Accuvant
Office of CISO is a street team of seasoned CISOs who have each
built some of the largest security programs for Fortune 500 companies
and, collectively, have worked with hundreds of organizations this year
alone. The team’s mission is to bring value to the CISO community by
helping executives think differently about their information risk
strategy so they can change, innovate and be more successful.
