The modern CISO: where marketing meets security

Chief information security officers (CISOs) have evolved from technical experts to become business leaders in their own right. They are building relationships and developing strong marketing and communication skills to influence others, and their storytelling is also bringing them closer to the board at a time when cyber security needs to be clearly and simply understood. As a result, CISOs are working differently with their teams, inviting them to look at the bigger picture and consider the real-world impact of projects, and acting as stewards, advisers, mentors and coaches.
