IT Security Career Journeys: Life After Being a CISO
IT security is a highly rewarding, impactful, and profitable profession – but it’s one that faces a massive talent gap that’s been plaguing the industry for years. According to the annual (ISC)2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, there are currently 2.72 million unfilled cybersecurity job openings. While that number finally seems to be declining as the benefits of these roles continue to gain popularity, it’s still one that’s cause for concern. How has the industry gotten to this point? Considered the pinnacle position in the field – the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) – has a notoriously high turnover rate. Some may view the position as a “turnoff” and perceive this security leader role to be “Chief Scapegoat”. But that’s all changing. In fact, the CISO role has evolved into one that is integral to the fabric of the business and accelerating it by protecting productivity.
