CIOs and CISOs: Managing tensions and working together effectively
A conflict of competing priorities can exist in any reporting structure, but the tension between the priorities of enabling business objectives through technology and maintaining a robust security posture can be especially challenging when it comes to CISOs reporting to CIOs. Many work together effectively and have found a way of balancing tech enablement and security, while some CISOs have said they will never report to a CIO again.
Led by Job Voorhoeve, leader of Amrop's Global Digital Practice, together with Jamey Cummings, Partner at JM Search, we spoke to a number of CIOs and CISOs about their approach to managing these often competing priorities and relationships. They talked about the pros and cons of direct reporting lines, ways of addressing the tensions, and the governance standards needed to ensure that a cybersecurity framework aligns with organizational goals and industry security requirements.
