Recent events have thrust information security - along with the CISO, their teams and suppliers - into the spotlight, and suddenly the CISO has started getting invites to all the right parties.
But this ascent to mainstream business relevance, trust and recognition comes with several burdens - not least changing priorities, a need to develop or refine soft skills and a host of fresh responsibilities and accountabilities.
To maintain effectiveness as an operational CISO is, under current circumstances, one of the most challenging responsibilities they face. Recent events, it seems, have added further challenges: embracing and adapting to new pressures, requirements and requests that stretch the CISO's traditional roles in several directions at once. This brave new world is most definitely one littered with personal, political and human challenges, as well as the technical ones.
