How CISOs can embrace evolving roles whilst avoiding common pitfalls

They must take their place in the boardroom’s strategic discussions.

Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) roles have now evolved and must serve as pivotal advisors and leaders who lead companies through the complexities of cybersecurity.

Ernst & Young (EY) said that CISOs should foster a culture where security is everyone’s responsibility by promoting awareness and integrating security practices into daily routines.

“For CISOs to fully embrace this transformation, they must take their place in the boardroom’s strategic discussions which require an understanding of both business and cybersecurity whilst positioning the latter as a key driver of business goals,” EY said.

However, they must remain vigilant to avoid common pitfalls by avoiding high-level strategy discussions that lack actionable plans.

EY also said CISOs must balance the adoption of new technologies with risk management to help achieve safe and beneficial innovation.

Furthermore, they should recognise that cybersecurity thrives on teamwork by adopting a diverse skill set within the team for a solid security posture.

Moreover, CISOs must stay proactive by keeping abreast of the latest trends and seek growth by engaging in challenging dialogues.
