Kimberly-Clark's Interim CISO Reports to Its Chief Digital and Technology Officer

Kimberly-Clark's annual report for fiscal year 2024 names an interim CISO as the executive who oversees the company's security team, reporting into its technology leadership rather than a standalone security chain.

"Our interim Chief Information Security Officer ('CISO') oversees a team with extensive cybersecurity knowledge and experience," the filing states, adding that the role reports to the company's Chief Digital and Technology Officer ("CDTO").

The filing does not name the interim CISO, say when the interim designation began, or say whether Kimberly-Clark is searching for a permanent replacement. Kimberly-Clark is one of several large, well-known companies disclosing a security seat held on a temporary basis rather than by a named permanent executive, alongside Baxter International, Unity Software and Zimmer Biomet in this same batch — all four point to an interim arrangement rather than a vacancy left unaddressed.
