About CISO Ascent

It started with a simple, yet complex question.
How can a community provide an outlet to help CISOs fight burnout?

The idea was born.
Recognizing that enterprise and global security chiefs are battling burnout, our founding CISO envisioned a retreat where executives can create life-long relationships, recharge away from the noise, and serve a larger purpose.

One mission.
Combat executive burnout by uniting CISOs in national parks to recharge and build life-long relationships.

Governance for good.
A ten-member Board of Directors drives CISO Ascent’s strategy and governance, helping strengthen the community.

Giving back is part of the journey

Where possible, CISO Ascent proudly supports the broader community.
