The Chief Information Security Officer

The role of the Chief Information Security Officer has evolved enormously in recent years in response to security threats and a challenging business environment. Instead of being primarily a master technician, today’s CISO has to be a trusted advisor to senior management.

The CISO has overall responsibility for corporate security strategy, but today’s CISO has to be in the business of managing information, not just securing it. The successful CISO needs to have excellent communication and presentation skills, and to demonstrate keen business acumen. The serious and ever-changing nature of today’s security threats demand a strategic-minded response, and a successful CISO will always be thinking about how to gain business objectives through enabling technology while properly managing risk.

Discover the skills you need to be a successful CISO in today’s changing world.
