Even the strongest executives can feel isolated at times. When chief information security officers (CISOs) face challenges with trusted peers, isolation transforms into clarity and confidence.

NewYorkCISO brings together top CISOs from New York’s leading organizations to build meaningful relationships, share what’s working, and create real business value. While industries and organization sizes may differ, the challenges of leadership—and the power of connection—are universal.

The Inspire Leadership Network connects CISOs with over 2,000 C-suite executives across more than 50 chapters, spanning public, private, and nonprofit organizations across North America. Beyond CISOs, Inspire also serves communities for chief information officers (CIOs) and chief marketing officers (CMOs).

For more than 25 years, the ORBIE Awards have honored C-suite executives for leadership, innovation, and excellence. I encourage you to attend the 2026 New York ORBIE Awards to meet and support these outstanding security leaders.

On behalf of NewYorkCISO, congratulations to all nominees and finalists on these achievements. Special thanks to the awards partners, chapter underwriters, and staff whose support makes the NewYorkCISO ORBIE Awards possible.
