CISO Discussing Cybersecurity
Information security has become quite a popular topic with board members over the years. The advancement of the Internet and social media has helped companies in many ways, however it has also caused them to be more cautious when it comes to cyber security. No company wants to be the next big name that makes the news because they were breached. The role as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has never been more important. In fact, research has shown that cybersecurity is discussed during 80% of board meetings. Not only does the CISO need to maintain a successful security roadmap when it comes to cybersecurity, but the CISO has to also be able to effectively communicate with board members regarding cyber issues or threats.
