Perhaps the most talked-about job in the information technology world these days is that of the chief information security officer (CISO) – the man or woman responsible for an organization’s data security and privacy. And for a good reason – nothing gets more attention in the IT world than the endless attacks on big corporations and government entities, which, on average, result in a price tag of roughly $4 million when they are successful.
So it’s hardly surprising that a triumphant CISO is primarily a leader, a manager and a communicator.
