National Underwriter Program

Trusted access to leading CISOs, strategic account insight, and policy influence earned through sustained NTSC engagement.

This is not a lead-gen model. It is a structured relationship program for organizations that can contribute meaningfully to practitioner-led cybersecurity dialogue at a peer-level with our membership.

Who NTSC convenes

NTSC is an invitation-only, member-funded, practitioner-driven 501(c) comprised of approximately 60 of the world's leading CISOs and senior cybersecurity executives across critical infrastructure and highly regulated sectors.

NTSC convenes leaders accountable for budget decisions, risk acceptance, regulatory response, and enterprise-wide security execution. The work is pragmatic, non-partisan, candid, and grounded in real-world operating constraints.

National Underwriters gain access, insight, and credibility by contributing to the community—not by promoting to it.

Relationship maturation value proposition

NTSC underwriter engagement is designed to mature relationships from visibility to influence. The value increases as underwriters demonstrate credible contribution over time.
