Lacework Publishes The Modern CISO Network: Board Book To Help Close the Cybersecurity Knowledge Gap In the Boardroom

More than 140 board-ready security leaders are highlighted in the book’s first edition
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Lacework, the data-driven cloud security company, today announced the release of the first edition of The Modern CISO Network: Board Book. Security has become a business-critical priority for every organization and proposed new rules from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would require the Board of Directors of public companies to disclose which members, if any, have security experience. Lacework’s first edition of the Board Book aims to help close the cybersecurity knowledge gap in today’s boardrooms by highlighting more than 140 board-ready security leaders.
A recent Harvard Business Review survey of 600 boardrooms revealed just 47 percent regularly interact with their company’s CISO. That’s likely because most Boards don’t have anyone with the security expertise to speak the CISO’s language. According to research from the CAP Group, among Fortune 100 companies, just 51 percent have directors with relevant cybersecurity experience. The situation is even more alarming in the Fortune 500, where only 9 percent of boards have directors with a strong understanding of cybersecurity. In the Russell 3000, just 8 percent of companies have directors with cybersecurity acumen. These statistics underscore the urgent need for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity expertise at the board level to effectively address the evolving threat landscape.
“Cybersecurity goes beyond addressing technical risks. It is an organizational problem that requires business alignment and should be viewed as a strategic imperative,” said David Christensen, Chief Information Security Officer, PlanSource. “Including cybersecurity experience at the board level is necessary to overcome the perplexities that often accompany discussions around cyber-risk, allowing boards to ask the right questions and provide the right oversight.”
Adding to the urgency, the SEC is expected to enforce new regulations that would require public companies to disclose which board members have security knowledge or experience, along with details about the board’s approach to cyber oversight. The SEC published draft rules in March 2022 and is expected to finalize them in the coming months.
“Imagine if a corporate Board had not a single Director who understood how to read and interpret financial statements, or who could recognize that the CFO had overlooked some critical matter that had the potential to bankrupt the company. It is clear how that story would end. Somehow, however, despite all of us recognizing that cyberattacks can inflict tremendous damage upon a business, many of today’s boards oversee cyber-risk management with essentially the same level of blindness,” said Joseph Steinberg, a cybersecurity board member, author, and expert witness. “Boards need to alter their composition to include Directors who understand cybersecurity at a strategic level, who know how to oversee cyber-risk management and the function of making a business resilient against cyberthreats, and who can help boards appropriately direct and maintain their cyber-risk-oversight focus.”
A Directory of Board-Qualified Security Leaders
The Modern CISO Network: Board Book is a directory of qualified senior security leaders that are ready to advise and guide businesses as they navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape. By creating a diverse network of experienced security leaders, the book aims to elevate the role of the CISO and simplify the process for companies to find the guidance they need to navigate security threats. Lacework will update further editions of the book on an ongoing basis.
The book’s first edition includes CISOs from organizations like:
- Adidas
- CapitalOne
- General Electric
- Rockwell Automation
- T-Mobile
- And more.

Compass Mining Partners with Synota’s “Impact Mining” Initiative to Transform Bitcoin Hashrate into Community Impact

Initial donation supports a hospital and village in Nigeria, with plans for further expansion
WILMINGTON, Del., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, proudly announces its role as the inaugural donor to Synota’s Impact Mining initiative. Through this groundbreaking partnership, Compass is turning Bitcoin’s computing power, or “hashrate”, into a humanitarian resource: affordable, reliable energy for underserved communities.
Through this collaboration with Synota, Compass Mining aims to demonstrate another way the Bitcoin mining industry can contribute directly to energy access, healthcare, and education in underserved communities without leaving the data center.
“This is hashrate with heart,” said Paul Gosker, CEO of Compass Mining. “We’re proud to show our customers and the broader industry how Bitcoin mining can improve lives, not just balance sheets.”
Under the Impact Mining initiative, Compass Mining has directed some of the output of its mining machines to a Bitcoin mining pool configuration provided by Synota and managed on behalf of Renewvia Solar Africa, an operator of clean energy mini-grids in Africa. The revenue generated by this hashrate is used to offset electricity costs for critical infrastructure in Nigeria.
- At Oloibiri Hospital, Compass’s contribution is helping cover the monthly power bills. This allows the facility to redirect resources to patient care. Serving over 3,600 patients annually and having delivered over 34,000 babies since 2010, this hospital is now empowered to treat hundreds more.
- In Ozuzu, a rural village connected to a solar mini-grid in 2021, 150 homes, businesses, and a school are now benefiting from a 20% reduction in power costs thanks to Impact Mining. Lower energy prices mean more lighting, more technology use, and ultimately more economic opportunity.
“Bitcoin mining has always been a driver of energy innovation,” said CJ Burnett, Chief Revenue Officer at Compass Mining. “Now it’s a driver of energy opportunity. A small portion of global hashrate is delivering outsized impact for real people.”
Compass Mining views this initiative as a proof-of-concept that mining can be more than profitable; it can be purposeful. Whether through direct machine allocation or partial hashrate donations, every block solved can help power a brighter world. Looking ahead, Synota plans to expand the Impact Mining initiative and Compass Mining intends to continue the partnership.
“We’re thrilled to have Compass Mining lead the way,” said Austin Mitchell, CEO and Co-founder of Synota. “They’ve shown that any miner, anywhere in the world, can take part in Impact Mining simply by redirecting a portion of their hashrate through a shared pool configuration. It’s a small step that can make a big difference. Donating hashrate also offers tax advantages, and we’re building the infrastructure to support that.”
