CISOs as Board Directors, CISO Board Readiness Analysis

by IANS + Artico + The CAP Group

New SEC rule changes will require public companies to disclose the cybersecurity expertise of board members, as well as governance practices in overseeing the cybersecurity risk. On most boards, cyber understanding is insufficient with recent research revealing that most companies lack even a single board director with cybersecurity expertise. CISOs appear to be logical candidates to fill this gap, but the question is whether CISOs possess the qualifications to serve as effective board members.
