IST Alumni Society Board member Madison Oliver won the Rising Star Award at the 2024 CIO of the Year Awards from the Pittsburgh Technology Council. The awards “recognize and honor the accomplishments of Southwestern Pennsylvania’s most hardworking chief information officers (CIOs), chief information security officers (CISOs), and IT rising stars,” according to the organization’s website. 

Oliver is a vulnerability transparency advocate and senior security manager at GitHub, where she leads the advisory database curation team. In January, she became a member of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Board to provide the board with an open-source community perspective and help enhance collaboration between the CVE Program and that community. 

Oliver earned a bachelor's degree in security and risk analysis from the Penn State College of IST and a master’s degree in information security policy and management from Carnegie Mellon University, both in 2016.

Congratulations!
