Hi, I'm Sarah Kop, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with extensive experience in managing and implementing cybersecurity strategies across various sectors, including Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), and critical infrastructure. In my role, I collaborate with global organizations to develop practical cybersecurity plans that align with international standards and regulatory requirements.

I am passionate about making the field of cybersecurity accessible to diverse communities. To this end, I founded XDoSec, a nonprofit organization that provides guidance and support to individuals from various backgrounds transitioning into the cybersecurity field. Through this initiative, I mentor professionals in building successful careers in cybersecurity.

I believe that collaboration and the human element are essential to success in the field of security. As such, I actively participate in conferences, workshops, and events focused on strengthening organizational resilience against emerging cyber threats.
