Chapter 8: Other CISO Tasks
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has a critical role to play in an organization as far as safeguarding an organization's informational assets is concerned. In the previous chapters, we saw their increasing involvement in the long-term strategic planning activities for an organization, given that all long-term planning and investments affect the security aspects of a company and will need the CISO's input. In this chapter, we will look at the other important roles they play in an organization by covering the following topics:
- Contributing to technical projects
- Partnering with internal and external providers
- Evaluating employee behavior
- Financial reporting
- Addressing cybersecurity as a business problem
The first section will address how and why CISOs contribute to technical projects. Let's dive right into it.
