They Said a CISO Does What?

The cybersecurity industry had challenges with bringing in new blood and facilitating the career growth. Misinformation has unfortunately played a part in making various roles appear unattainable, when we should be doing the opposite. We should be embracing flexibility, identifying opportunities, and most of all discussing realistic expectations and roles.

I stumbled across an article that lists qualifications for Chief Information Security Officers. I was shocked at the inaccuracy. I think many great candidates would be turned off by this and others, who have some of the listed skills would be surprised by how they are not applicable to the CISO role.
