Assaf Keren
As the Chief Security Officer at Qualtrics and formerly the CISO at PayPal, I have spent the last decade securing the world's most critical digital ecosystems. My career spans from the server room to the board room. Beyond my corporate leadership, my perspective is shaped by an entrepreneurial foundation, having founded and sold two cybersecurity startups and led e-Government security for the Israeli Ministry of Finance.
Today, I operate at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy. My focus is translating the chaos of modern cyber warfare into clear, actionable frameworks for Boards and C-suites. I help leaders understand that security is not a blocker. It is the ultimate enabler of speed and innovation.
I am the author of "Lessons from the Frontlines" (Wiley), a guide for the next generation of security leaders.
