Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) are senior-level executives, liable for safeguarding irreplaceable company info, data and technology – all while staying true to the overall mission and goals of the organization.
Hiring of Chief Information Security Officers is on the rise – and the reason is very clear. With 2020’s substantial employee evacuation from corporate offices to kitchen tables & basement desks, company security infrastructures are more exposed than they have ever been. When COVID-19 started spreading in America, eighteen million COVID-19 associated phishing emails & 240 spam emails were being sent every day. Thus, it is no wrong to say that safeguarding corporate data has become tougher than ever.
Company’s structure their IT departments differently. So if you have not begun thinking about appointing a CISO, you perhaps are not alone. If you are all set now, let’s dive in! What exactly does a CISO do?
Chief Information Security Officers are liable for maintaining a large umbrella of responsibilities, including:
- Safeguarding data from loss or fraud
- Evading cyber-attacks & threats
- Managing security hardware & software
- Keeping ahead of security needs
- Leading security investigations
- And more…
