For years, it seems like we’ve been rationalizing why your company’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) deserves a seat at the boardroom table. In many industries, we’ve come a long way since then. At more and more organizations, CISOs have stepped up and begun conferring regularly with the CFO, CTO, and CEO on security strategy, cyber risk, and how to approach digital transformation.

While the CISO has become an integral part of some executive boards, it hasn’t been the case everywhere. Maybe your CISO-board relationship is broken or there’s a divide between the CISO and the rest of the board. Sometimes, for better or worse, the CISO’s thoughts just fall on deaf ears.
