ompany board, C-suite level conversations, and how to address the important subject of cybersecurity in an audience appropriate manner, while still bringing across the necessary core content. The book starts with an overview of the status quo of the industry and then leads into the conversations a new CISO should have; in preparing for the role, in performing of the role, and after leaving the position. A short summary highlights the latest market research on compensation figures, before the author details the CISO success factors that prepare aspiring CISOs as best as possible.
PREMIER CISO also educates the reader on the all-too-common misperceptions, misconceptions, and misguidance in the industry before it provides a streamlined approach to company board composition, leadership setup, and the CISO food chain. The core communication partners and relevant key topics are addressed step by step alongside the respective focus areas. Recent regulatory SEC changes are introduced and commented on, the concepts of SecDevOps and Enterprise architecture are pursued, and topics regarding the board and potential questions thereof are raised.
This book serves as a sparring partner for the CISO to “discuss” with their inner voice the key decisions to make, before setting the standard for the rise of the CISO and transitioning into the latest topics of quantum security and artificial intelligence (AI) security. Written as a high-level navigator for all CISOs who like to sharpen their saw and for those aspiring to become that PREMIER CISO, a well-defined index and complete bibliography are provided to help the time-pressed CISO focus on the relevant topics.
