Paul Watts (ISF): “Here is what it takes to be a NextGen CISO!”
This episode of re:invent security shares what it takes to be the next generation (NextGen) CISO. Our guest Paul Watts, a multiple times CISOs at companies like Kantar, Domino’s Pizza UK & Ireland, Network Rail, clarifies what it takes to be the NextGen CISO. Key questions discussed are: “What are the expectations from Business/IT leaders hiring these NextGen CISOs?”, “What transformation should CISOs explicitly consider staying relevant as CISO?”, “What is most important AND challenging for the NextGen CISOs to fulfill these expectations and how can they go about it?”. Dive into the conversation with Paul, someone that has been there, done that, now sharing this!

We describe how the role could be better modelled, qualifying its fundamental criteria and providing some guidance on what qualities to look for, and what to not over-rely upon.
