Mike Engle started on the CISO career track early in his career, moving up to senior vice president of information and corporate security at Lehman Brothers in the early 2000s
Engle says he thought the professional path was a good fit, explaining that he found security technologies, such as encryption, fascinating and the cat-and-mouse aspects of the work challenging.
“I liked that thrill of putting solutions in place that stop something bad from happening,” he adds.
But Engle says he didn’t like other aspects of his position, particularly the governance and regulatory requirement tasks that intensified following the 2002 passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
