What it takes to become a CISO
Darius Goodarzi, a specialist in information security and IT risk tells us about what it takes to become a CISO
Information Security overview
New GDPR regulations coming into effect in 2018 caused a spike in demand for security professionals including data protection officers and security, governance and compliance analysts. Businesses are identifying the significant value skilled security professionals add to a business, so candidates need to ensure they are continuously developing their skills to keep up with emerging technologies and ensuring they can deliver maximum business security.
In many ways, security has been playing catch-up to other tech specialisms and middle management positions are now viewed as imperative to a successful cybersecurity strategy. Due to this, we expect an increase in demand for experienced Cyber Managers. Sitting alongside the IT Manager, Cyber Managers oversee specific cyber-related responsibilities including tool selection, risk assessment, monitoring compliance and threat hunting.
