Is Your CISO Navigating Your Flight Path?
DARKReading, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
If your CISO isn't wielding influence with the CEO and helping top leaders clearly see the flight path ahead, your company is dangerously exposed.
For too long, chief information security officers (CISOs) struggled to get a seat at the executive table because security teams were viewed as cost centers rather than value creators. That era is over, driven by necessity rather than choice.
Today's threats move at dizzying speed, which has propelled CISOs into a strategic role, not focused only on security, but on business resilience. Increasing cyberattacks, coupled with regulatory demands and digitalization efforts like AI adoption, have forced a reckoning with the fact that cybersecurity is a core business imperative with existential consequences.
