The Aspiring CIO and CISO

Part 1: Your Journey to Becoming a CIO or CISO

In this first part, you will get an overview of the role of the CIO and CISO and will start mapping your own personal journey to this destination. We will cover the development of your brand and your overall gaps across skills, knowledge, experience, and behavior (SKEB).

We will explore how helping others develop will help you get ready faster and be successful in a CIO or CISO position. Getting the CIO or CISO role will be challenging, so interview preparation is key. We will look at the questions that might be asked in the interview and then how best to ask probing questions yourself.

  • Chapter 2, How to Develop Yourself to Be a CIO or CISO
