The CISO’ s job is no longer to deliver a lecture, but to lead a dialogue. Continuous dialogue between the board and security teams keeps strategy aligned and reinforces that security supports the overall business mission.
That’ s when security stops being a compliance update and starts being a business conversation. Cybersecurity strategies then go from being an IT directive to a business decision that supports the organisation’ s broader strategy.
It also ensures the board are engaged, learning and aware of what the CISO, and more importantly, their investment is doing for the business.
The more we invite the board to test, probe and question, the more confidence we build.
We’ ve spent years teaching the board to speak security, and now the situation is reversing. Risk might be the mother tongue of security, but revenue is the language of the boardroom and the next generation of CISOs must be bilingual to succeed. x www. intelligentcxo. com
