Nominations are now open for WashingtonExec’s Annual Pinnacle Awards, and we want to know which executives had the biggest impact on federal cybersecurity.
The Pinnacle Awards embody the WashingtonExec spirit of highlighting successful executives and businesses saving money and fostering innovation for federal clients across the region. The awards will culminate in a Nov. 12 virtual ceremony, where the chosen executives will be recognized.
This category focuses on government executives who spearheaded the advancement of cybersecurity practices and technology in the federal government.
Nominations may come from peers, employees, supervisors and fellow government leaders. Achievements between 2019 and 2020 will be considered.
The 2019 Cybersecurity Government Executive of the Year winner was the Education Department’s Daniel Commons. He led the modernization of cybersecurity in the department, including the implementation of the Federal Information Security Act, which made the Federal Student Aid’s portfolio both available and confidential.
