CISO Roles Continue To Expand Beyond Technical Expertise
HelpNet Security, December 20th, 2022
Marlin Hawk has tracked and analyzed the profiles of 470 CISOs year-over-year to understand the changing dynamics in this critical leadership position.
The research shows the CISO seat to be relatively industry-agnostic-with 84% of CISOs having a career history of working across multiple sectors-with today's CISOs expected to bring more breadth of leadership to their role as they move away from being technical experts.
'Today's CISOs are taking up the mantle of responsibilities that have traditionally fallen solely to the CIO, which is to act as the primary gateway from the tech department into the wider business and the outside marketplace,' said James Larkin, Managing Partner at Marlin Hawk.
