How can the C-suite support CISOs in improving cybersecurity?
2020-09-10 05:00

The shared responsibility in security is closely tied to how employees at all levels perceive the importance of security.

How do we get through that dissonance and get people engaged in security?

While CISOs continue to spearhead the development of the organization's security program and define the security mission and culture, other C-suite executives can vocally support these programs to ensure their integrity throughout the whole process, from vision and development to implementation and ongoing enforcement.

The participation of the C-suite can also help CISOs focus on the most important security issues and adjust the program to ensure it is aligned with broader business plans and strategies, thereby helping to get broader support without compromising security.

Security-conscious C-suite executives will be able to step in to support the CISO's mission that security needs to be a top priority.
