Kudelski Security Report Reveals Trends, Tips for Recruiting and Developing Modern CISOs
Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group, released a new report, “Cyber Business Executive Research: Building the Future of Security Leadership,” that provides exclusive insights and actionable recommendations to help organizations address the biggest challenge they face – recruiting, retaining and developing the next generation of security leaders. The report was developed in conjunction with Kudelski Security’s Client Advisory Council (CAC), a cybersecurity think tank comprised of information security leaders from global enterprises.

The report identifies several trends underlying the challenge of finding and keeping qualified Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their direct reports – a challenge exacerbated by the new remote work environment. For example, effective CISOs should have a 50/50 balance of technical and soft skills like communication, relationship building, and executive presence but the report found this talent mix to be extremely rare. CISOs will be required to have those soft skills to effectively navigate a new business model likely to feature remote work even after the current crisis subsides.
