CISO SPOTLIGHT
The Modern CISO
What is the best background for your organization’s top security leader?
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, it simply doesn’t matter. What matters is how a modern CISO approaches the role and amplifies its uniqueness from other C-suite positions.
In fact, I would offer that the modern CISO is not a technical or even a compliance role, it is a risk management role that requires subject matter expertise in the nature of an organization’s risk and the means required to mitigating. And even more important is the ability to translate risk into the language that every C-suite member understands: money.
