SECTION TWO

QUESTION FOR YOU, do you need to be a cyber expert? Nope. Does it help to understand the concepts directly related to your org? Definitely! Our articles are designed to help you do that!

  •  The CISO be reporting to the CEO

    Should the CISO be reporting to the CFO or Legal?

    Neither. They should report to the CEO. When the CISO reports to the CEO, you show that cybersecurity is more than a series of protective measures, but a strategy for exceeding business goals.

  • You need cyber experts on the board

    Should we have a cyber guru on the board with us?!

    Yes! A cybersecurity expert on your board of directors is a strategic necessity in planning and preparing for the onslaught of never-ending cyber attacks, especially in today’s threat-laden environment.

  • A great CISO is more than a technical expert

    How can we help the company hire a good CISO?

    By helping them evaluate cybersecurity leaders differently. Hint: A great CISO has more than just technical ability. Learn the 3 benchmarks the best companies use when picking a cybersecurity leader!
