Bridging The Gap Between The CISO & The Board Of Directors
DARKReading, Thursday, April 3rd, 2025
Positioning security leaders as more than risk managers turns them into business enablers, trusted advisers, and, eventually, integral members of the C-suite.
As a chief information security officer (CISO), it's been exciting to see more CISOs become a part of important business conversations and get more face time with their boards of directors. However, more face time doesn't automatically translate to better communication or stronger alignment between CISOs and boards.
According to data from our recent "CISO Report," of the respondents who indicated a "very good" or "excellent" CISO-board relationship, 44% of CISOs believed they were adequately communicating security milestone progress, while only 29% of board members believed the same.
