Into the future – the CISO of the 2020s

#artificialintelligence

In my last blog I talked a lot about the changes CISOs are seeing today. A critical part of the role of the future CISO will likely be to play the long game when it comes to technology. A good CISO will need to keep a finger on the pulse of technological change, opportunities and risks, helping guide an organization through rapid transformation and almost continuous marketplace disruption. In a digital future, it's not enough to talk about technology'enabling' enterprise, or technology being'integrated' into business processes - technology is the enterprise; it is the business process, and discussing it any other way limits our ability to fully grasp it. We frequently discuss the growing skills gap and the need to recruit more talent as one of the primary challenges of our day; but future CISOs may be working with a security team significantly diminished in size.
