CISO and CIO Convergence: Ready or Not, Here It Comes
DARKReading, Tuesday, February 13th, 2024
Recent shifts underscore the importance of collaboration and alignment between these two IT leaders for successful digital transformation.
As IT-related business requirements change, the roles and responsibilities of IT leaders change along with them. This has certainly been the case for chief information officers (CIOs) and chief information security officers (CISOs), with digital transformation intensifying their shifting roles. The CISO's stewardship of controlling digital risks is so essential to protecting today's enterprises and integral to successful digital transformation that their roles increasingly are overlapping. How or if these roles continue to intertwine has yet to be determined, but they are most definitely converging, highlighting cybersecurity's trajectory from the server room to the boardroom.
