Despite in increased involvement of various stakeholders in risk management, a recent risk perception survey revealed a persistent disconnect between executives and the security function.

A new survey revealed that CISOs need both new sources of talent and better technology to help close the cybersecurity skills gap.

The International Standards Organization (ISO) released an updated version of its risk management guidelines to help security leaders engage top leadership in cyber risk decision-making.

The role of the security leader is expanding, and CISOs must posses strong communication skills, extensive technical knowledge, analytical minds and the respect of their peers to be successful.

The CISO's position on the security org chart influences the nature and frequency of interactions the security leader will have other executives — not to mention the security budget.

Many organizations lack the cybersecurity leadership required to effectively defend their networks and proactively respond to data breaches when they do occur.

The EY "Global Infomation Security Survey" revealed that CISOs and executives have a long road ahead when it comes to improving communication — but it is indeed a road, not an unbridgeable chasm.

In light of the skills shortage and the highly competitive CISO job market, careful succession planning is the key to leaving your company in good hands.

Companies and individuals may throw ethics out the window when there's an extra buck to be made. CISOs must learn to nip conflicts of interest in the bud.

The CISO should be the central figure responsible for defining an organization's information security strategic plan and aligning it with business goals.
