Moving beyond FUD: The kinder, gentler CISO
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt have been the calling card and sometimes crutch of the security professional. Motivating your peers and business partners with images of catastrophe will only serve short term objectives and doesn't build the long term productive relationships you will need to be a successful CISO. Learning what motivates the other C-Suite members and speaking their language will help you navigate the problems they are facing and allows you to integrate your own security objectives into their solutions. Showing up even when security is not the primary topic and proving your worth outside of the scope of IT will build a support base you will come to rely on when your proposal for the best security option is not the cheapest or most convenient. Trust, not fear, will win the day.
