The position of a CISO has become an important one nowadays given that corporate security has taken priority over some of the usual business priorities. As we know by now if information security is affected, it in turn affects the credibility of a business and the trust of customers. Customers will start to shy away from spending at that particular retail chain.
All this means investing in people, investing in technology.
An information security executive such as a CISO is required to bring his or her expertise to the executives of a company. The CISO should be able to leverage the position to move projects such as data security and PCI Compliance forward. The CISO should also take responsibility in properly positioning the importance of information security and risks involved.
