Chief. Information. Security. Officer.
The person in charge of protecting an
organization’s information assets. The job
title sounds so simple, even straight forward, and
once upon a time it might have even been an
accurate description of the role.
It used to be enough to make sure all patches
were up to date, network firewalls were in place,
intrusion detection set-up, anti-virus installed, and
everything on the network properly configured,
locked down, and hardened. Being a CISO was
primarily technical in nature, but times have
changed. Realistically, the only thing uncharged
about the CISO job is the title.
Today, the responsibilities and skill-set required of
a contemporary CISO have become much broader,
all-encompassing, and far more critical to the smooth
running of the business. CISOs often require familiarity
with new and highly sophisticated technologies such
as Software Defined Networking, DevOps, Serverless,
Containerization, IoT, Virtualization, Machine Learning,
and Next-Gen everything in order to protect them. Not
to mention The Cloud and all of its many facets. Then
there is an ever expanding attack surface created by an
explosive number of new users, more data, and more
devices needing to be safeguarded. The threats to the
enterprise posed by organized cyber-crime, nation-state
actors, and even hacktivists are very real and an ever
present way of life – 24x7x365. •
