Under her direction, (ISC)² established a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) team with the goal of ensuring the cybersecurity profession better represents the diversity of the world it protects and that rewarding cybersecurity jobs are accessible to more people. These efforts help ensure cybersecurity professionals are consulted and considered during the formation of cybersecurity policy, legislation, regulations and standards on the global stage. Clar oversaw the creation of an Advocacy team that has strengthened – and raised – the global profile for (ISC)² with key policy makers around the world. This addition to the (ISC)² portfolio develops a pipeline to fill the cybersecurity workforce gap.

The association’s pledge of One Million Certified in Cybersecurity has provided a pathway for individuals to access foundational cybersecurity education, and a free opportunity to take the Certified in Cybersecurity exam. Under Clar’s leadership, (ISC)² has experienced record growth of its global community through the launch of several key initiatives.


As CEO of (ISC)², she has established a forward-looking strategic framework and set bold goals for the future of the cybersecurity profession.
