Deneen DeFiore

I believe great cybersecurity leadership isn’t measured by the attacks you stop. It’s measured by the confidence you create for customers, employees, regulators, investors, and the business.As Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer at United Airlines, I lead cybersecurity and digital risk for one of the world’s largest global airlines. My team partners across the airline to protect operations, strengthen resilience, and enable innovation in an increasingly connected world.My career has been dedicated to securing critical infrastructure where reliability and trust are non-negotiable. Beyond my executive role, I serve on public and nonprofit boards and on the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council, helping shape cybersecurity and resilience at both the enterprise and national levels.I’m passionate about developing leaders, advancing the cybersecurity profession, and helping organizations view cyber and digital risk through the lens of business strategy, resilience, and growth.
