Speaking Cyber-Truth: The CISO's Critical Role In Influencing Reluctant Leadership
Cyber Defense Magazine, Monday, April 8th, 2024
In the C-Suites and boardrooms of modern enterprises, there's an unwelcome guest that often disrupts the conviviality of strategic discussions: cyber-truth.
Cyber-truth is the unvarnished reality of risk delivered by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) that shines a light on current shortcomings, dampens the euphoria around new initiatives, and quells the enthusiasm for new ventures. As organizations tackle digital transformation, pursue critical certifications, or leverage modern capabilities like AI, the CISO's role in unveiling pitfalls and potholes is indispensable. Like Seuss' Lorax, the modern CISO must be the voice of cyber-truth.
