A community of mentorship builds stronger CISOs and is good for the cyber industry. Making it happen is simple: if you have a problem, reach out. If someone reaches out, answer the call.
Those who have been around the world of cybersecurity for a while have long realized the importance of the chief information security officer’s (CISO) role in leading teams charged with maintaining the security of corporate data and much, much more. But both freshly minted and veteran CISOs can sometimes feel they’re stranded on a desert island for several reasons.
They may be new to the role and acclimating to the responsibility and, of course, the accountability they are now shouldering. Others may find themselves having to rapidly garner knowledge and perspective when a situation about which they lack familiarity lands on their plate. This is where mentors and mentorship can be invaluable. So, I set out to determine what that looks like today and how accessible CISOs are to one another.
