Bob decided to write this book to help facilitate the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) to better integrate into their businesses and interact with C-suite executives and board members. As happened when Chief Information Officers (CIO) began to ‘earn a seat at the table decades ago, there is a significant communications gap between this newly discovered role, the C-suite, and the board. Bob's goal is to make CISOs and their boards successful in better understanding one another and better in managing cyber risks and opportunities. The aim of this book is to help close the communications gap by linking CISOs with the three main topics that boards deal with: talent management, strategy, and risk management.
