At MassMutual, Ariel Weintraub is honing and maturing the firm’s cybersecurity posture as the first female chief information security officer (CISO) in the insurance company’s 172-year history. If that weren’t enough, she also is forging paths in the cybersecurity industry which establish her as a knowledgeable, precise and innovative leader among information technology (IT) security professionals.
