Dark Reading's 20th anniversary retrospective profiles 20 influential figures who shaped the modern CISO era and enterprise cybersecurity over the past two decades. The list spans pioneering CISOs like Steve Katz (the first CISO at Citicorp), researchers like Dan Kaminsky (DNS vulnerability), HD Moore (Metasploit), Barnaby Jack (device hacking), and Katie Moussouris (bug bounty programs), as well as controversial figures like Edward Snowden, Kevin Mitnick, Marcus Hutchins, and Albert Gonzalez.
