Many Security Leaders today are burned out from having to overcome challenges like the misalignment of cybersecurity programs with organizational strategy and answering the question of where cyber really lies within the organization. What can you do to get buy-in from the Board for your security programs?

Mathew Sharp and Kyriakos “Rock” Lambros had very different starting points to their cybersecurity careers, but there is one thing they agree on: there is a dire need for CISOs to gain business knowledge to understand the business they operate in and therefore be equipped to effectively communicate security needs to the Board to garner support for their programs.

The co-authors of The CISO Evolution: Business Knowledge for Cybersecurity Executives (which was recently featured in the Forbes Executive Library) share what inspired them to write the book, their personal learning journeys, and evolutions as CISOs, and answer the question: do we need more business-savvy CISOs or technology-savvy Board members?

The Ask A CISO podcast is a production of Horangi Cyber Security, Asia's leading cloud security provider. The show is hosted weekly by cofounder and CEO, Paul Hadjy.
