The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is one of the most difficult positions for an industry professional to succeed in today. Almost by definition, if not by practice, the CISO has become a time limited role in many organizations. The reasons for this are many. Essentially the CISO is brought into craft and implement a successful risk, security and compliance strategy. The definition of successful is often confusing to the different elements of an organization. However, in most organizations one the CISO has designed and implemented the over-arching strategy, the day to day operational aspect of it is performed by network and security administrators. Inevitably this leads to the question of what is the CISO doing. Is this the reason that so many CISOs only stay at their position for 12 to 18 months? Perhaps, but there are other factors at play here.
