With regulatory pressures mounting, cyberattacks growing more costly, and executive boards demanding more cyber oversight, enterprise CISOs have been tasked with evolving their roles and leadership techniques. In the process, the best and brightest CISOs have realized that they must function as more of a business leader than a technology guru.
