The Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) Exchange, a for-profit forum for government and private-sector CISOs, had been disbanded. Participants left the exchange when government officials stated that the organization was selling access to policy-makers. Memberships were bought for $75, 0000 for a full membership to between $5,000 or $25,000 for a partial membership.
“‘Any time there is a question or a perception of buying client access, we’re not going to be involved,’ said a spokesman for Austin Yerks, CSC’s president of federalsector business development.”
“NetSec let the project’s abrupt end speak for itself. “It’s our understanding that it has dissolved, so there’s nothing to withdraw from,” a company spokesman said April 14, adding that company officials are disappointed that the CISO Exchange did not come to fruition.”
