Publisher's Synopsis
So, you've chosen to become a CISO. Hopefully, you have thick skin and a fallback plan. While the role is one of the most important positions that a company can have, as of this writing, the CISO is in a state of influx and time will tell how the role will evolve and if the position will be seen as a critical part of the executive team.
The latest regulation from the SEC focuses on Cybersecurity Disclosure and has put a proverbial target on our backs. The CISO position is tough enough, and this law now makes us liable for material disclosures - even if we are not involved in the conversation or decision making with the rest of the executive team and/or the board. As a CISO, learn how to protect yourself and as you read the chapters of this book, I'll provide you with sound advice on how to do so. When the company that you're working with understands the importance of the role and provides the support that's needed organization wide - the role of the CISO can be a wonderful experience, as the CISO needs support from everyone in the company; as it really does take a village to secure a company, their employees, and the data. The chapters in this book are filled with practical and proven experience, and the content is yours to absorb and use in the best way possible. It is a roadmap to use, but at the end of the journey - only you can find the pathway to success.
