Security News > 2020 > February > Changing the mindset of the CISO: From enforcer to enabler

Security leaders can no longer adopt the role of enforcer, but rather need to pivot to a new role: the enabler.

Security leaders must now be able to transform their security practices in lockstep with all the other changes wrought by business-wide digital transformation.

The successful CISO must collaborate with the business and find a way to balance the appropriate controls for any given scenario in order to maximize protection and minimize security friction.

Security teams need to recognize that they now provide a valuable service to the business in the quest to mitigate digital risk and minimize security friction.

Digital transformation is changing every aspect of how we operate, including the role of the CISO. The successful CISO in the 2020s and beyond needs to take a risk-based approach that consistently views security reasoning through the lens of user experience, business profitability, and viability.
