Overview

The CISO Perspective – Understand the importance of the CISO in the cyber threat landscape

The CISO (chief information security officer) has overall responsibility for corporate security strategy, but today’s CISO also needs to be in the business of managing information, not just securing it.

In its first edition, this book challenged security professionals to recognise that the serious and ever-changing nature of the security threats in 2011 demanded an organisation-wide strategic response, not just an automated reaction. It proposed that it was time for CISOs to transition from security coordinators to evangelists for risk management, while being technology innovators and trusted advisers to senior management.

In this updated edition, the security threat landscape has widened and the broadening of the CISO role has become a mandate for organisational survival. This book challenges and guides information security professionals to think about information security and risk management from the enterprise level, not just from the IT perspective.
