SC Media, Monday, October 7th, 2024
Chief information security officers (CISOs) have heard loud and clear the message that they no longer have to function as the chief officer of 'no.' But at the same time, boards and chief executive officers (CEOs) aren't looking for 'yes' women and men.
They need risk management executives who can unfold the facets of cyber risk facing the business-both in narrative and meaningful risk metrics-and offer advice on how to minimize risk without obstructing business goals.
That's true now more than ever for enterprises as they navigate a tougher regulatory scene, with the Security and Exchange Commission's (SECs) cybersecurity rules putting the board and executives at public companies on the hot seat for greater accountability and disclosure of cybersecurity risks and material cyber events.
