CISOs need to be forceful to gain leverage in the boardroom, according to Help Net Security.
CISOs need to be able to act as a strong advocate for security, demonstrating their knowledge of the company’s needs and taking steps to ensure the right decisions are made.
This includes challenging the board when appropriate, understanding the latest security threats, and educating the members on the potential risks of inaction.
CISOs must also demonstrate that they are working to protect the company’s data and infrastructure, and that their solutions will provide the best return on investment and mitigate the most risks.
Additionally, CISOs must leverage the trust they have with the board to ensure that their proposals are taken seriously and accepted.
