Evotec SE's 20-F states its CISO position was run by an Interim CISO from May 2023 to May 2024, part of the overhaul following its 2023 cyberattack.
Evotec SE's 20-F describes a now-concluded interim stint in its CISO seat, disclosed as part of the governance changes that followed a 2023 cyberattack.
"The position of the CISO was managed by an Interim CISO between May 2023 and May 2024," the filing states.
The filing explains the company formed a "Security Board," comprising management, the SVP Head of Global Information Security acting as CISO, and the EVP Global Head of Information Technology & Data, after the 2023 cyberattack, and that an interim Head of Global Information Security was engaged until May 2024.

The filing does not name either the interim or the current CISO.
