Lusha Dataset: 210+ companies with a new CISO in the last 90 days

Tools: Lusha

A new CISO — hired or promoted — reviews the existing security posture against their own standards almost immediately. This is one of the clearest buying windows in security software: every tool decision the predecessor made is open for re-evaluation.
