CISO voices need to be heard in the boardroom

Abstract

C-level executives are under pressure from all directions. Cyber security is just one of many issues competing for their attention, and it’s all too easy to overlook. The responsibility for keeping the organisation secure is delegated to the CISO. But to operate effectively, CISOs need an appropriate level of power and to have their voices heard at board level when the time comes to allocate budget and take critical decisions.
