- 1. Information Security Forum Research Demonstrates Importance of the Next Generation CISOThere are many other factors in the make-up of the next-generation CISO, however, they stand out as key differentiators of forward-looking professionals. The six differentiating characteristics include: • Balancing Opportunity with Risk • Demonstrating Leadership • Managing Incidents and Crises • Finding Their Own Voice • Dealing with Regulatory Volume • Handling Technology
- 2. What it takes to be a transformational CISOWhat exactly, though, does a transformational CISO possess that sets him or her apart? That allows him or her to “love” the hard work of overhauling and rebuilding? There are a number of traits and characteristics that define such a leader: 1. A transformational CISO is energized by change and disruption, and they’re energetic in general. 2. They’re comfortable operating in chaos. 3. They’re dynamic and adaptable. 4. They’re outspoken and persuasive, they tend to be more extraverted, and they’re able to build consensus. 5. They have to be able to do a bit of sales, and they have to be able to fit security into the rest of the company’s journey.
- 3. Put Your Metrics Where Your Mouth IsYou’ve no doubt heard the saying “what gets measured gets managed.” And it’s true. Why? Because what gets measured, gets noticed. CEOs and other executives respond to what boards and shareholders notice.
- 4. 5 Simple Ways to Make Better DecisionsHere are five strategies that will help you to make better, faster decisions: 1. Fewer options = better decisions. 2. Earlier is better. 3. Fewer people make better decisions than big groups. 4. Sleep on it. 5. Toss the coin.
