Why CISOs Are Increasingly Focused On Cultivating Soft Skills For Business Security
enterprise times, Tuesday, June 27,2023
Cybercrime today is an ever-present concern for companies across the UK and further afield. While businesses are focusing on trying to prevent attacks, there's also an understanding that breaches are inevitable. It's just about when a data breach will happen rather than if a company will fall victim to one.
The main line of defence organisations have is their internal security team, led by a Chief Security Information Officer (CISO).
Traditionally, CISOs spearhead internal and external information protection efforts. The current cyber risk environment is expanding their role. It is no longer about creating a security plan and relying on those with technical know-how to execute it. It now includes building a culture of security transparency, and accountability.
