CISOs are responsible for the security and integrity of a company’s Information network. If I was a Chief Information Security Officer for a public traded company, I would implement security strength. I would understand business risk better than anyone else and would be the best to understand new tools and solutions. I would do these things because a CISO is a leadership position so doing nothing isn’t an option. A great leader has a good vision and holds people accountable. I would oversee my team so we could all have a view of all the risks that are harming the business. Some things I would implement are security operations- real-time analysis of immediate threats. Cyber intelligence- keeping the board informed about the cyber threats. Fraud prevention- making sure that staff doesn’t take data anywhere. Security architecture- planning, buying, and using security hardware and software. Identity management- only authorized people to have access to restricted data and systems. Program management- always staying on top of security needs and things. Investigations- looking into what went wrong and who’s responsible for it. Governance- making sure things run smoothly. I would implement all those things because that is what all the big CISOs are doing so if I start off like them then one day, I will be bigger and more creative. It is important that I have a good supportive team so we can tackle security problems together. It is important that I remember that I am only the information security officer because there are other titles, and I would never want to overstep my bun dries. But I would always be willing to work with them in certain situations.
