CISO, Saviour or Fall guy?

The ‘Merry go round’ music plays loudly and the game of ‘musical chairs’ plays across the globe. It begs the question: ‘ Is our CISO worth their weight in gold, or could they cost us many times?

Average tenure of a CISO is so short! Some hypothesise this is due to lack of support and funding, some better opportunities? The 'revolving doors' are spinning quickly and the benefactors are the cyber criminals making hay whilst the market plays. Make no mistake, it is a battlefield with cyber war raged everywhere and the role of CISO needs leadership, strength and courage! this is no 9-5 for sure?

CIP subscribe to 'score-carding'. Used to quantitatively rate the professionals across our Industry, how many would rate high, mediocre and poor? How many actually take responsibility for the cyber posture of the company against those that take the next ‘big’ opportunity on a hefty uplift?

CIP enables a ‘Sea Change’ across your entire cyber security landscape. Score-carding enables dynamic rating across your business providing the Board, who ultimately take responsibility, with real facts, not subjective 'hearsay'.
