In a rapidly evolving digital world, the CISO role has also evolved. Cybersecurity is a concern at the highest enterprise-level and CISOs are taking on stronger leadership roles in response: setting cyber risk strategy and integrating with the business to advise and educate colleagues on the importance of security.
