The CISO ’ s role is evolving – just like cyber security . It is not limited to only preventing security threats , but it now incorporates effectively managing data security , the risks in infrastructure and brand reputation , among other responsibilities
As the security landscape experiences drastic changes , this has resulted in businesses elevating their cyber security strategy , with the role of the CISO becoming increasingly more important .
CISOs are tackling a variety of problems such as a rise in automated attacks and how attackers are becoming more motivated and knowledgeable .
Are CISOs prepared to face all the challenges thrown at them during this current climate ? This was one of the many topics that was explored at our recent Cyber Live event .
Tammy Archer , CISO at Inchcape , explained : “ There are going to be times when you will face quite difficult circumstances , but I would say when it does come to that , you just need to take a step back and think about how you are going to approach the problem .”
