As a leader in the cloud, data, and mobile solutions, security is more important than ever before. It’s also our customers number one concern. Through the Internet of Things (IOT), we connect billions of devices around the globe and that means delivering complex security solutions for todays connected world. We're driving groundbreaking technologies that ensure the online world is safe from cyber threats - building responsive solutions that deliver powerful, intelligent cybersecurity.

We are building a team of former Chief ISOs and IS leaders that represent the CISO perspective inside and outside of Cisco (the “CISO Senior Advisor”). They may be connected to a Theatre, an industry or vertical (e.g. Financial Services).

Cisco Security - Cisco delivers intelligent cybersecurity for the real world, providing one of the industry's most comprehensive advanced threat protection portfolio that is integrated, pervasive, continuous and open. Cisco's threat-centric approach to security reduces complexity while providing unmatched visibility, continuous control and advanced protection from threats across the entire attack continuum - before, during and after an attack.

Global Security Sales Organization (GSSO) - GSSO is taking big steps to position Cisco as the #1 IT Security provider in the industry. In addition to having the right market conditions, capabilities, products and services, we need the right people to take us there.

- A tertiary part of the role will be to help provide senior CISO-perspective to Cisco product lifecycle and cybersecurity strategy influencing direction and roadmap at the C-level.
