In this interview with Help Net Security, she talks about her take on the CISO role and offers advice for those who aspire to fulfill it one day.

The company then created the first Information Security Officer role, which I stepped into to work on building out a security-first approach.

Over the years, I have worked closely alongside Henrik to push Templafy's investment in security and grow our security posture.

While it's true that security leaders want to make sure everything is right and as secure as possible, it doesn't mean they're the "Security police" that many people assume them to be.

CISOs don't have to be dominating, overbearing rulers to be effective security leaders.

In my experience leading teams, I've found that collaboration, communication, and engagement are crucial traits to succeed as a CISO. It's not the CISO's role to "Control" the security of a company, but rather enable their organization to be more secure.
