A decade ago, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role was simpler. Today, it's transformed beyond recognition, shaped by the radical evolution of cybersecurity. While recent regulations like the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and new SEC rules, shifted accountability towards the board, if the worst happens the burden often lands on one person – the CISO.
This weight can’t entirely be shouldered by a ‘Chief Incident Scapegoat Officer’. Instead, CISOs need to drive accountability for security posture across the organization.
