Despite being faced with one of the worst economic downturns in recent history, companies continue to prioritise information security. Today, more organisations than ever before have a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Forty-four percent of companies employed a CISO in 2009 compared to 29 percent in 2008, according to a 2010 PriceWaterhouseCoopers survey. Compare this with nearly a decade ago, when most security tasks would originate from an organisation's operations group.
As stories of data breaches continue to make headlines, organisations now understand the critical need to mitigate security risks. A growing emphasis on security has changed not only the role of the CISO, but also how they are viewed by the organisation's corporate decision makers. Whereas yesterday's CISOs used to be in charge of day-to-day security operations, today's CISOs are strategists, partnering in their company's growth plans.
