Cybersecurity always getting deprioritized? A BISO could be the answer.

@ITSM_Crusader (@CBRE) on why security leaders need this role: https://t.co/GoqGx4ItuD

[The Professional CISO @TheProCISO]

"Cybersecurity professionals sell trust. @ISC2 needs to protect it."

Is the organization losing touch with the industry it represents?

@irawinkler weighs in: https://t.co/cjNnsEBlWc

[The Professional CISO @TheProCISO]

Controversional opinion: CISOs need a seat at the table alongside CIOs and CTOs.

Cybersecurity is a business priority, not just an IT function.

@BoileauMatt @thesucklife @USMC I went from SOI to Security Forces in Norfolk, then on to 2nd LAR Bn in Lejeune as a scout, Med float with 3/8. Wound up lat move to Intel for my second enlistment. Blew out my ankle and med sep after. Now I do cybersecurity. It was surreal to see SgtMaj Kassal face to face. 😅

[David Malicoat @davidmalicoat]

@BoileauMatt @thesucklife @USMC I was also in Charlie Co at SOI back in the day. Sgt Kassal (at the time) was a great teacher. I clearly remember him teaching claymore mines. Spoke with him a few years back at the national MCJROTC drill competition. S/F

[The Professional CISO @TheProCISO]

Trust isn’t built in a crisis—it’s tested. Strong relationships give CISOs the leverage to lead when it matters most. Build trust now, before you need it
