THE EVOLVING ROLE OF THE CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER, by Night Dragon

Conclusion

The role of the CISO has never been more important as cyber damages continue to rise into the trillions of dollars, and even in some cases put lives at risk. As our survey found, while important, it can also be a difficult, grueling job that requires a unique combination of technical skills, leadership acumen and personal attributes. We also must do better as an industry to ensure we are all educated, from the individual contributor up to the board director, on cybersecurity, and we are enabling CISOs with the resources and talent needed to build a more secure future.

As technology advances and cyber threats evolve, it is important for all of us to stand alongside CISOs and help support their important mission.
