Preamble
Term: CISO
- Pronounced SEE-so or SAI-so
- Chief Information Security Officer
- Sounds like executive leadership position, similar to Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), etc but this is often not the case
Security leadership is changing
Old way:
- Experienced technologists (Usually old white guys) worked way up ranks
- Usually reported through IT (CIO/CTO)
- Department of "No" - Block everything bad
- Slows down business
New way:
- Experienced business professionals with leadership skills and security understanding
- Can report through:
- IT (CIO/CTO)
- Legal (For compliance reasons)
- Finance (CFO) for governance or compliance reasons
- Financial impacts of attacks
- Direct costs
- Fines
- CEO - Seat at the table with other C-level execs
- Direct to board
- Empowers the business to succeed in a secure way
- Can still slow down the business, but only when needed
