Jay Pasteris, CIO and CISO at GreenPages, talks to Security magazine about how CISOs can make cybersecurity a board-level imperative. 

Chris Jacquet, VP and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Hitachi Vantara, explains how best to approach cybersecurity in the boardroom. Being prepared, honest and concise can help a CISO secure much-needed funding for their department.

At the Raines Cybersecurity Leadership webinar, cyber expert Elad Yoran discussed the essential traits of a CISO and why businesses should incorporate a security voice in their boardroom.

As previously discussed, many Boards of Directors have recruited members with deep cybersecurity experience.

It’s essential that boards understand the organization’s cyber risks in order to successfully oversee overall company performance. CISOs and CSOs who can clearly convey cybersecurity to the board promotes better navigation of the organization in today’s uncertain cybersecurity world.
