Re: More Effective CISO
“The guidance may be finessed however the CEO must set the policy. ” This makes sense. Sometime CEO may choose to have more open system than a lucked down environment

Re: More Effective CISO
“Security priorities are different depending on where you sit in the C-Suite.” This is a very good point. Some CEO would not care about security unless company get hit.

Re: More Effective CISO
“The concept of being more business minded is good but misses the mark” I may agree with this. Business and security may not be aligned fully.

Security and business may not be aligned fully, sometime customers go with features that compromise security.

More Effective CISO
The concept of being more business minded is good but misses the mark. Security priorities are different depending on where you sit in the C-Suite. The CEO should have a perspective that spans the organization. They know what is critical to running the organization and what is the most important. That direction needs to be provided to the CSO/CISO. The guidance may be finessed however the CEO must set the policy.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
