The pressures on CISOs have never been greater. With an expanding threat landscape, and recent SEC regulations holding executives personally liable for breaches, leaders in the industry are facing an unprecedented level of scrutiny.

As a longtime cybersecurity leader, I’ve witnessed these challenges in the field. With 25 years in the industry, including more than a decade as a CISO, I can confidently say that while the pressures have intensified, they are not insurmountable.
