Companies are increasingly capturing and handling more data than ever, especially when conducting services such as migration, database audits, and the creation of new applications
->It comes as no surprise that a proficient Chief Information Security Officer becomes a critical player in making sure that all data is handled with care
The Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, ensures that every process in the company is protected by security practices. That means auditing the company to ensure that security processes and software are updated, implementing programs to reduce the risk of cyberattack success, and even auditing internal security to protect sensitive data from the risk of espionage or employee theft and misuse.
CISOs must also stay ahead of the curve and devise new strategies for security, and implement new security standards as they arise. They need a keen eye for detail, as they’ll be conducting investigations into every cybersecurity incident, and must be adaptive and quick to act as defending against cyberattacks is a matter of speed and efficiency.
Good CISOs are a much sought-after resource in the information technology world. At Marlin Human Capital, we consistently engage with the best CISOs in the industry, and connect them with some of the leading employers in the country.
