Why CISOs Must Align Business Objectives & Cybersecurity
DARKReading, Friday, June 13th, 2025
This alignment makes a successful CISO, but creating the same sentiment across business leadership creates a culture of commitment and greatly contributes to achieving goals.
Although cybersecurity is the core of their role, chief information security officers (CISOs) must also be business leaders. They support business objectives and goals by providing the most secure environment for their company, making security a part of every process and not just an afterthought. As more and more prospective and existing customers are asking for documentation related to internal security practices, CISOs' efforts are either contributing to or hurting business goals.
