About Execweb

What Execweb Is

Execweb is a cybersecurity-focused executive network and lead-generation company, headquartered in Long Island City, NY, and now part of CyberRisk Alliance. We connect cybersecurity vendors with vetted CISOs and senior security leaders through two main formats:

• 1:1 CISO meetings — 45-minute virtual introductions matched to a vendor's specific qualification criteria, with both sides pre-vetted before the meeting happens.
• Boardroom sessions — 60-minute facilitated group discussions with four senior security leaders and a moderator, giving vendors direct feedback on product positioning, differentiation, and pricing.

Every CISO in the network builds a profile before any introduction is made, so cybersecurity vendors see real initiatives, timelines, and buying signals rather than cold contacts. We position ourselves against the inefficiency of traditional cold outreach — noting that fewer than 1% of CISOs respond to direct sales pitches, it typically takes 20+ touches to reach one through standard channels, and more than half of CISOs onboard new vendors through peer referrals rather than pitches.

Who We Serve

Our exclusive network includes 400+ vetted CISOs and senior security leaders, largely from Fortune 1000 companies and organizations with 1,000+ employees, spanning industries like technology, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and retail. We work with cybersecurity vendors who need qualified pipeline and direct access to enterprise security decision-makers.

How We Help Cybersecurity Vendors

Instead of chasing cold contacts, vendors are matched with senior security leaders who have already submitted live briefs detailing active initiatives, budgets, and timelines. The result is pre-qualified conversations on both sides — real meetings with buyers who have a defined need.

We estimate to have generated over $30M in pipeline for vendor clients and facilitated 3,000+ qualified CISO meetings in the last 5 years.
