About Brian D. Steinke
I’m a cybersecurity executive and consulting leader with over 30 years of experience helping organizations strengthen resilience and align security with business goals. As Senior Vice President in Kroll’s Cyber Risk practice, I deliver cyber risk and resilience consulting engagements—including advisory services, long-term vCISO relationships, and board-level reporting that translate technical risk into business insight.At Kroll, I’ve helped advance the Cyber Risk Assessments service line by developing structured frameworks, process innovations, and AI-supported analysis that have streamlined assessment delivery—reducing the average engagement timeline from six weeks to two while maintaining depth and quality. My work spans a wide range of industries and cloud environments, from Microsoft 365 and Azure to AWS and GCP, aligning client programs to frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001.Before joining Kroll, I led enterprise security and infrastructure teams at organizations including Grainger, HUB International, and Sears, collaborating with HR, Legal, Operations, and Finance to balance protection with productivity. These experiences shaped my pragmatic approach: cybersecurity must protect the business, but it should also enable innovation and agility.I’m passionate about helping executives and boards navigate cyber risk with clarity, fostering collaboration between business and security teams, and using AI as a force multiplier to enhance research, insight, and decision-making.
