ATLANTA - October 4, 2019 - (Newswire.com)
T.E.N., a technology and information security executive networking and relationship-marketing firm, honored finalists and winners Thursday evening, Oct. 3, at the 2019 ISE® Northeast Executive Forum and Awards Gala at the Westin Times Square in New York City, NY.
Mark Leary, the CISO for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, was selected as the Information Security Executive® of the Year Award winner for the ISE® Northeast Region.
A successful Global Chief Information Security Officer and Technology Business Leader in public and private sectors, Mark has held successive positions of corporate oversight for international Fortune 200 firms in Defense, Aerospace, Manufacturing, IT Services, Business Process Outsourcing, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences markets. As Regeneron’s first CISO, Mark is tasked with the formulation, implementation and execution of the corporate information and cyber security strategy, program and organization to protect the company's intellectual property and assets. Previous to Regeneron, Mark has performed in information security leadership roles with companies such as Conduent, Xerox, TASC and Northrop Grumman and is a US Amy veteran with 22 years in Military Intelligence.

He also possesses several board-certified, industry-related certifications. Mark is a frequent speaker at industry events and a published author.
Umesh Yerram, VP, Chief Data Protection Officer with AmerisourceBergen, was honored during the event as the 2019 ISE® Northeast People's Choice Award winner. This award represents the nominee who best exemplifies information security leadership as voted on by their peers in information security.
AmerisourceBergen’s “Project Omniscient Eye – Data Protection” received the honor of being chosen as the ISE® Northeast Project of the Year.
While cloud computing has allowed businesses to be more flexible and agile, data protection has been the biggest challenge. Especially for AmerisourceBergen (ABC) that houses confidential and, in some cases, intimate data like health information, any unauthorized disclosure could not only have financial impacts, but more importantly, have undesired life-altering impact to patients. Omniscient Eye is a one-of-a-kind project that discovers and classifies 2 million protected documents of ABCs confidential data, provides visibility to the 3TB of cloud data including 3,000 cloud services, and ensures protection to 8 billion PHI records through data masking and encryption solutions. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, AmerisourceBergen have their omniscient eyes on you.
“This year, our executive and project nominees were some of the most incredible leaders and influencers that our judges have ever seen,” said T.E.N. CEO and President Marci McCarthy. “Each of these executives and project teams exhibits the drive, passion, and dedication to Information Security that the ISE® Awards represent. We are honored to have each and every one of them join the ranks of our distinguished ISE® Alumni.”
