Built by CHSOs, for CISOs
FORCISOS exists to solve the career development crisis in cybersecurity leadership — with real-world training, peer community, and economic support built exclusively for security executives.
Our Mission
To elevate cybersecurity leadership by providing the training, community, and economic infrastructure that CHSOs need to thrive — not just survive.
The Problem We Solve
CISOs face unique pressures: personal liability, boardroom politics, regulatory complexity, and talent shortages — with almost no dedicated peer support or practical training.
Our Approach
Practitioner-led curriculum, peer accountability, and a marketplace connecting CISOs to fractional opportunities, insurance, legal counsel, and high-caliber talent.
Meet the Founder
Michael Reichstein
Founder & CEO, FORCISOS
Michael is a seasoned cybersecurity executive with over two decades of experience spanning military intelligence, Fortune 500 enterprises, and cybersecurity entrepreneurship. His career bridges the gap between tactical operations and boardroom-level security strategy.
Having lived the challenges that CISOs face every day — from personal liability and regulatory pressure to talent shortages and board communication — Michael founded FORCISOS to build the platform he wished had existed throughout his career.
Our Values
Every decision we make at FORCISOS is guided by these core principles.
Practitioner-First
Every lesson, resource, and tool is built by active security leaders — not theorists.
Community-Driven
Peer support, accountability, and shared intelligence are at the heart of what we do.
Ethical Leadership
We model the integrity and transparency we expect from CISOs in their organizations.
Continuous Growth
The threat landscape never stops evolving. Neither should your skills and knowledge.
