Learn the Role of a CISO in Today's Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape

Stepping into the Role of CISO - A Roadmap to Security Leadership

Security thinking has evolved tremendously over the past few years. The highly ambitious goal of digitization, which cuts across sectors, enabled by rapid technological advances, has fuelled the evolution of the security paradigm. With rising obligations and expectations, security functions within enterprises have been pushed into a mode where they must continuously evaluate their security strategies and overall approach to achieving security objectives effectively. It is interesting to observe the changes that are taking place in organizations, making cybersecurity a priority not only for the security function but also for top leadership, which is expected to prioritize cybersecurity risks.

What is the role of a CISO in today's evolving cybersecurity landscape?

The role of a CISO has also undergone a significant transition, with strategic dimensions coming into focus, in addition to the operational excellence aspects of security that a CISO is expected to drive within the organization. Multi-dimensional thinking that comprehensively covers all security considerations, implications, and obligations is the foremost expectation of a CISO who must grapple with the ever-evolving threat landscape. Navigating the complex ecosystem that involves sophisticated threat actors, numerous technology vendors, third parties, regulators, stakeholders, and several other players requires agile thinking and a forward-leaning approach from a CISO. Proactivity is of utmost importance, as CISOs must promote the readiness of all affected workers and functions for anticipated cyber threat scenarios, particularly those involving media, regulatory, and government attention.

What are the key considerations for those aspiring to become security leaders?

It is heartening to see the growing interest in cybersecurity as a profession, with people aspiring to become security leaders of the future. Making investments in building the CISO skillset, augmenting capabilities systematically, and comprehending the dimensions in a manner that benefits an organization's security objectives are imperative for aspiring security leaders. Although there are numerous aspects that a CISO needs to be mindful of and consciously work toward inculcating, developing a 360-degree view of the digitization and technology adoption landscape is vital, along with the ability to assess the current risk landscape in a holistic manner.

With this backdrop, we are planning to set up a special session at the forthcoming Nasscom-DSCI Annual Information Security Summit to discuss considerations for stepping into the CISO role and how one can strategize to build the necessary skill set for assuming the security leadership position. As part of the session, we will be incorporating detailed insights from CISOs who have been leading their respective security functions for several years. In a mentorship format, we hope to highlight the aspects aspiring CISOs need to be mindful of and provide a potential roadmap for their journey.
