Prudential Financial: group CISO serving in an interim capacity

Prudential Financial's 10-K describes its group CISO as holding the role on an interim basis, with a career path through the security function rather than a new outside hire.

"The current CISO, who is serving in an interim capacity, has served in various roles in information security for over 20 years, including as Deputy CISO and roles overseeing cyber defense, investigations, and incident response," the filing states. "The interim CISO holds a law degree and has attained numerous Global Information Assurance Certifications."

This is a group-wide disclosure: Prudential's insurance and asset-management subsidiaries that file their own SEC reports (Pruco Life Insurance Company, Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, and PGIM-managed registered funds including PGIM Private Credit Fund) carry the identical passage about the same interim CISO, rather than describing a separate person or a separate vacancy at each entity. Prudential's 10-K does not name the interim CISO or say why the role is held on an interim basis.

See the interim and acting CISO record for other companies naming a temporary security leader in an SEC filing, with no comparison or ranking implied.
