Cumulative CSO sackings
Great article Joseph, got me thinking about the cumulative effect of sacking CSO's.  Now some CSO's I know are nothing more than a glorified IT Security Manager and by not keeing Cyber on the strategic agenda have probably created their own demise.

However, if the 'standard' response to a major data breach is to sack the CSO to appease the markets & media after a time will we not get to a point where effective CSO's are also being chopped and not re-hired?  Does this lead us to a place where we are culling the very people from an industry that is already short-staffed?
