Known for offering keen insights and unique perspectives on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) and the potential impacts of technological developments on human society, Steinberg amassed millions of readers as a regular columnist for Forbes and Inc. Magazine. Today, his independent column, titled Joseph Steinberg: Totally Candid, receives millions of monthly views, making it one of the most-read columns focusing on cybersecurity and related matters. Analysts have calculated that he is among the top three cybersecurity influencers worldwide. Steinberg has helped many organizations improve their management of cyber risk and has assisted attorneys in achieving just compensation for parties wrongly harmed by cyberattacks. His opinions are frequently cited in books, law journals, security publications and general interest periodicals; his cybersecurity-related inventions appear in over 500 U.S. patent filings. He remains one of only a few dozen people worldwide to hold the suite of advanced information security certifications (CISSP, ISSAP, ISSMP and CSSLP)—indicative of the both deep and broad nature of his cybersecurity expertise and experience. In addition to his primary work, Steinberg serves as a senior policy analyst at the Global Foundation for Cyber Studies and Research think tank, a member of Newsweek’s Expert Forum, a member of the Cybersecurity Council at CompTIA (the world’s largest technology trade association and its second-largest related certifying body) and a board member at several business and nonprofit organizations. He also served on—and was unanimously elected chairman of—a governmental financial advisory board. Steinberg co-founded and served in multiple capacities (including tenures as CISO, CEO and chairman of the board) at the cybersecurity firms Green Armor Solutions and SecureMySocial. Earlier, he served in several senior capacities (including functioning as the CIO and CISO for US operations) of Whale Communications, acquired by Microsoft.
