I’m pleased to offer an excerpt from the book Becoming a Global Chief Security Executive Officer: A How to Guide for Next Generation Security Leaders, by author Roland Cloutier and published by Syngress. Cloutier is Vice President and the CSO of ADP, in addition to being active in industry development and serving on several private advisory boards, including ADP’s board representative for the National Cyber Security Alliance Council.
This section from chapter three outlines the primary role of the chief security officer. The book is available on Amazon and other online publishing websites.
