Head of Information Security

Securing your organization is hard.

You’re confronted with challenging decisions, armed with information about problems that are constantly evolving. Confidence in the relevance and quality of that information is mission critical.

An abundance of information sources overflow, exceeding the time available for consumption and leading to research fatigue.

The struggle to retrieve saved bookmarks, tabs, and links can result in regret, as misaligned or untrustworthy content erodes trust.

Introducing The CyberNest – our mission is to reduce misinformation and effectively operationalize security knowledge in the field.

Our unique approach revolves around harnessing the collective power of a community for content discovery and curation. Every piece you encounter has already earned validation from your peers.

Through personalized recommendations based on your interests and the trending topics among fellow members, we guide you to the security content that truly matters.

Joining The CyberNest not only conserves your valuable time but helps you make better, more informed decisions to protect your organization.

Here's what our members are saying about The CyberNest

The CyberNest is a terrific place where CISOs can go to find information written by our peers. The quality of documentation I find there streamlines my research and saves me time because I know that I can trust the sources as they have been curated and vetted by other CISOs.

Sue BergamoFormer CISO, ActiveCampaign

The CyberNest is taking a fresh approach to information sharing. I save time because I can easily find the information I need and see what my peers think about it - all without sifting through Google results, signing up to download papers, or scheduling vendor calls

Steve SandersChief Risk Officer, Computer Services, Inc (CSI)

The CyberNest provides me the opportunity to explore content across different security domains and different types of authors- practitioners, organizations, or vendors who have objective content. I enjoy having the ability to express my opinions by reviewing content and I like being able to get the perspectives of others through their reviews.

Vito SardanopoliChief Risk Officer, Computer Services, Inc (CSI)

The CyberNest allows me to keep my thoughts about important things I read in one place. It will allow me to share them with my team, in an organized way. It also has relevant, and not-vendor-driven content. Plus, you get to see people’s reviews, and follow what YOUR colleagues find interesting.

Dmitriy SokolovskiyFormer CISO of Avid

Keeping up with developments in cybersecurity is a constant challenge – especially filtering signal from noise. With so much content being generated in the form of “whitepapers” that, more often than not, are biased towards promoting a specific “solution”, the CyberNest is a breath of fresh air as my new go-to source for quality content that is reviewed and rated by fellow CISOs I know I can trust to provide unbiased perspective.

Alain MarcuseFormer CISO of Validity

The CyberNest is a great platform for CISOs who want to level-up their knowledge and stay on top of trends. It’s a versatile platform that enables many different objectives. Whether you’re looking for a starting point for research, to get feedback on something you’re written, or just want to network with peers, The CyberNest is your one-stop connection to an active community of CISOs
