The chief information security officer role has dramatically transformed. In the face of ever-growing cyber threats, CISOs have transitioned from solely technical defenders to strategic business leaders. Beyond safeguarding against cyberattacks, they now play a critical role in managing and mitigating inherent business risks, ultimately contributing directly to business value.
Taking on the role of CISO at any organization is exciting but challenging. Those first 100 days can feel like drinking from a firehose as you work to get a handle on the company's security posture, build relationships across teams and start driving improvement initiatives. In the first 100 days, new CISOs must focus on establishing relationships with key internal stakeholders in the legal, HR, finance, marketing, customer service and development teams. According to Gartner,This enables better communication by breaking down silos and helps ensure CISOs can access the resources they need. Making inroads with the C-suite and board of directors is equally as crucial.
While technical defenses remain essential, a growing emphasis is being placed on human-centric security practices. Recognizing this shift, Gartner forecasts that by 2027,As a new CISO, I recommend befriending the marketing team early on to help shape the organization's cybersecurity story. Getting buy-in on a cohesive security narrative makes it easier to drive initiatives and adopt the human-centric cybersecurity approach that will only become more important.
