Background for this topic.

CISO is the senior executive responsible for an organization’s information security strategy and governance. This role involves overseeing risk assessments, security architecture, and policy enforcement to protect sensitive data and critical systems. The CISO coordinates between technical teams and business units to ensure security measures align with organizational priorities and regulatory requirements.

In practice, the CISO must manage risks from insider threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and targeted cyberattacks by prioritizing security controls and monitoring emerging threats.
