CSO Online, Wednesday, June 26th, 2024
Top IT security execs are rising in prominence, increasing their business acumen, and branching into new arenas, as they become the company's key purveyor of trust.
While organizations have been fixated on transforming their business processes over the past several years, the top IT security exec role has been transforming as well.
Today's CISOs and CSOs are heavily involved in developing comprehensive cybersecurity and critical risk management strategies that align with business initiatives. They also play a vital role in fostering collaboration across business units to maintain a holistic security posture.
