Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are increasingly finding that the tried-and-true, traditional information security strategies and functions are no longer adequate when dealing with today’s increasingly expanding and dynamic cyber risk environment. Many opinions and publications express a wide range of functions that a CISO organization should be responsible for governing, managing, and performing. How does a CISO make sense of these functions and select the ones that are most applicable for their business mission, vision, and objectives?

This webinar describes a CISO organizational structure and functions for a typical large, diverse organization using input from CISOs, policies, frameworks, maturity models, standards, codes of practice, and lessons learned from major cybersecurity incidents.

Learner outcomes:

• Understand a structured approach for developing and evaluating a CISO organization structure
• Be able to demonstrate the extent to which your CISO structure addresses widely accepted cybersecurity frameworks and standards
• Consider using this structure to identify coverage, gaps, and areas of improvement
