How CISOs Are Training The Next Generation Of Cyber Leaders
CSO Online, Monday, July 7th, 2025
With cyber risk now a boardroom issue, CISOs are training their teams through personalized coaching for company-wide programs not just to defend, but to become leaders.
It's easy for cybersecurity leaders to get caught up on the day-to-day of making sure teams are delivering and risks are being managed that the opportunity to prepare those same professionals to become the next generation of leaders is missed.
But with cybersecurity now firmly positioned as a business-critical function, more CISOs are starting to turn their attention to developing future leaders. While many CISOs came up through the ranks learning on the fly, leaders today are taking on a more intentional and often personal approach to training tomorrow's leadership pipeline.
