Deep dives
Lack of CISOs in Executive Leadership
Investigative reporter Brian Krebs discovered that very few Fortune 100 companies list security professionals in executive leadership. The CISO role is relatively new compared to the legacy companies dominating the list, leading to a lack of representation. While it doesn't imply a lack of seriousness about cybersecurity, it highlights the evolving importance of security in successful companies.
