The role of the modern-day CISO begins with understanding the new responsibilities they’ll have to undertake and their willingness to step up to ever-growing challenges. The typical CISO oversees four key security pillars that include security architecture and engineering, operations, cyber resilience, and regulatory and IT compliance. However, they’re also increasingly taking ownership of other tasks such as risk and governance, business continuity, identity and access management (IAM), fraud prevention, and more. It’s clear that being a CISO isn’t just about being responsible for security functions.
