The purpose is to discuss the role of CISO, and what it takes to be a successful CISO. Today we talk to Chandra McMahon and Bill O'Hern from the communications sector. "I don't know that the CISO needs to be on the board," said O'Hern, "But at a very minimum the CISO needs to participate with the board.

I believe that in today's environment the CISO role has really evolved to be a true member of the C-suite, someone who sits at the table with the board of directors at least on a routine basis to continually update them on the posture of the organization."
