Chief information security officers may have been best known for being thrown under the bus in the aftermath of a data breach. Now they’re making a reputation for themselves as tech’s most wanted, and highest paid. And rightfully so.
Cybercrime Magazine recently caught up with Jeremy King, president and founder at Benchmark Executive Search, for a discussion about CISOs at the world’s largest companies. It used to be that a cyberattack was a CISO’s worst nightmare, and a sure-fire sign that a pink slip would follow. In 2020, it’s a fact that every company has been hacked (or will be). Major corporations globally, with the help of law enforcement and private sector cyber defenders, have come to the realization that it’s not the CISO’s fault, and ousting one will only open up another can of worms — namely recruiting a replacement in a highly competitive market that is suffering through a severe workforce shortage. Instead, CISOs are being heralded for their ability to plan for the worst, and to react calmly, legally, methodically, and swiftly, in response to cyber intrusions.
