How The Evolving Role Of The CISO Impacts Cybersecurity Startups
DARKReading, Monday, November 20,2023
CISOs and vendors must work together to keep up with emerging threats and find solutions, says a group of CISOs and security entrepreneurs.
The relationship between the chief information security officer (CISO) and vendors is a central engine of the cybersecurity ecosystem. It helps startups striving to meet the ever-evolving needs of CISOs, who are simultaneously seeking the elusive but paramount buy-in from business users and executives.
The CISO role has evolved dramatically in the past few years in response to changes driven by market fluctuations, COVID-19 ramifications, boards' increased cybersecurity awareness, and technology's evolution. As CISOs adjust to their fluid environment, it has become increasingly important to evaluate how these changes impact the relationship between CISOs and their vendors.
