Business leaders need transformational security teams.
The role of the chief information security officer (CISO) is changing. Like chief information officers (CIOs)
and chief technology officers (CTOs) before them, CISOs are evolving from contributors with a limited portfolio of responsibility, to highly integrated and strategic drivers of business transformation. The most successful organizations are recognizing that genuine digital and business transformation depends on security modernization
PwC found that 40 percent of executives are seeking CISOs capable of leading crossfunctional, agile teams that are not only keeping pace with digital transformation, but, in many cases, pointing the way forward.
A survey conducted for the Information Security Systems Association revealed that security professionals worldwide ranked communication and leadership skills as the most important traits of a successful CISO.
The ISSA survey also found that a majority of security analysts want to take on more strategic roles, and they recognize that they will need to develop leadership, communication, and business skills to become leaders of growth and transformation.
