A recent ISC2 survey stated that 65% of Cyber security professionals struggle to define their career paths. This is not surprising, given the wide range of areas that makes up the cyber field. For those who are exploring or are entering management with the intent of becoming a Chief Information Security Officer, this topic will explore the pros and cons. The CISO can take a lot of bumps and bruises along the way to often unrecognized victories. Taking blame for issues, uncooperative users and leaders, and when things go wrong, unfortunate negative attention. But the rewards can be worth it. This session will be a candid discussion of topics from successes to failures, necessary skills, the “what-to-do” and “what-not-to-do” will be shared. If you think you have what it takes or don’t know what it takes but are interested in CISO career path, this would be a good session to attend.
