About Kirby Stormont
As a SVP, Business Information Security Manager at Truist, I’ve spent my career balancing cybersecurity strategy with people-first leadership. While I’m technical—holding a CISSP and a BBA in MIS from the University of Georgia—I’ve learned that the most effective security architecture is built on a foundation of collaboration rather than just controls.This belief drives my work as the Communications Lead for Truist Women in Technology (WIT). I am extremely passionate about amplifying the voices of women in the tech space, ensuring our stories are heard and our successes are celebrated. For me,\"holistic\" security means looking beyond the logs and encryption to ensure we are building a diverse, inclusive, and resilient workforce where innovation can thrive.Whether I’m navigating vulnerability management or helping others find their footing in their tech careers, I’m always looking for the next challenge to tackle or a new perspective to dive into. I’m a big believer in staying curious and constantly evolving—both at work and as a person.
