In the world of cybersecurity being proactive is a necessity. Cyber threats loom large, and only those who dare to innovate, lead, and push boundaries can truly make a difference. That’s why it’s no surprise that our very own Jess Parnell, has been named the CISO of the Year in the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
In addition to Jess taking home this well deserved award, we also clinched two other wins: Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company and the award for Intelligence Powered Cybersecurity. It’s been a big week for us, coming on the heels of being named the winner of Next Gen Intelligence Powered Security by Global InfoSec Cyber Defense Magazine.
Jess Parnell is not your average CISO. With a career spanning multiple industries and roles, including serving as the Security Operations Center Manager for the Department of Health and Human Services, Jess brings a wealth of experience to the table. His tenure at Centripetal, which began in 2015, has been marked by a relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence in cybersecurity. Under his leadership, Centripetal has developed groundbreaking technologies, supported by more than 100 patents, that form the core of a new intelligence-powered cybersecurity strategy.
When Jess found out about this award, here’s what he had to say: “I am deeply honored and humbled to be named CISO of the year from the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Centripetal team. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I look forward to continuing to drive innovation and excellence in cybersecurity to protect our clients from evolving threats.”
The 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize and celebrate companies, products, and professionals that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in information security.

Jess Parnell’s recognition as the CISO of the Year and our multiple awards are a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in cybersecurity.
