Summary
In this chapter, we have learned that a CISO is the guardian of an organization, building a cyber strategy, acting as an advisor to the board, and still being a technical executive. A CISO is also known as a CSO and vice president (VP) of security.
The demand for business-centered technical CISOs will continue to grow, as having the right CISO will provide assurance to companies, their strategic business partners, regulators, and customers that their cybersecurity capabilities are robust and fit for purpose. Being a CISO can be rewarding; as data breaches soar, so will a CISO's paychecks.
In the next chapter, we will cover a CISO's operations, end to end.
