The Anatomy of a CISO: A breakdown of today’s top security leaders (Infographic)

What does the typical Fortune 100 CISO look like? We researched the top security leaders at F100 companies to get a better idea – here’s what we found.
The chief information security officer (CISO) plays a critical role in a corporation’s information security program. As the highest-ranking security executive within an organization, CISOs are tasked with developing and overseeing the execution of the company’s information security strategy across all functional areas: prevention, detection, incident response, risk and vulnerability management, security architecture and operations, and regulatory compliance.
