Survey of chief information security officers conducted by Gartner sheds light on habits shared by the top-performing members of the profession
Just under 70% of the top-performing chief information security officers (CISOs) dedicate recurring time for professional development on their work calendars compared to just 38% of their bottom-performing counterparts, according to the results of a three-year study of more than 225 CISOs conducted by analysts at Gartner.
In a report titled Key behaviours driving CISO effectiveness, Gartner set out five habits that it believes are held in common by the most highly effective CISOs. On average, said the analysts, each of these behaviours is at least one and a half times more prevalent among the top performing CISOs than it is among the bottom performing.
