Security Vendors Needs CISOs Too!
Por Gary Hayslip
I remember saying those words while at a security conference several years ago. I was sitting with peers, and we were discussing recent moves within the security community by vendors. It was remarked that as the current CISO for Webroot, did I consider myself a real CISO. Of course, I was shocked; what do you mean, did I consider myself to be a real CISO? Did I no longer qualify as a senior security professional because I now worked to protect a cybersecurity vendor? Was I now a fake CISO?
As we finish our discussion, I think it’s essential not to segregate the men and women who serve as CISOs into specific business or vendor type security leaders. Cybersecurity, its lifecycle, and many of its fundamental concepts and best practices are relatively the same no matter the industry, country, or organization. Now I am not naive to suggest there are no differences in laws, regulations, scale, or culture that impact CISO roles. However, many of the threats, business risks, and challenges CISOs face are relatively the same such as lack of funding/resources, recruiting and retaining quality teams, and executive sponsorship, to name a few
