The Top Five Questions Boards Are Asking CISOs and How To Answer

Cyber is no longer an abstract concept that can be assessed with the question ‘are we secure?'. According to Gartner, successful CISO’s are leaders, communicators, and managers and all CISO’s need to be prepared to convey the progress their organization is making to ensure the enterprise stays secure as it continues to grow. 

As cyber risk begins to be rolled up alongside the other categories of risk (strategic, operational, financial, etc.), effective cyber risk reporting that is actionable for business-side stakeholders is increasingly paramount. Information security leaders today must recognize the need for not only effective cyber risk management, but also effective cyber risk and compliance reporting out of the IT organization.
