So, What is a CISO and What do They do?

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a key organizational function, tasked with reducing the the risk of a cyberattack or security breach. While the role they fill is essential to implement and manage a security framework designed to protect critical business data and assets, some organizations can’t justify the expense of an additional full-time C-level executive, or have difficulty finding qualified candidates. Salaries for a CISO typically range from $250,000-$500,000 and higher annually and there is a very limited pool of individuals with the proper training, knowledge of security frameworks, and experience implementing them in an organization. For a fraction of the salary of a full-time CISO, companies can hire a virtual CISO (vCISO), an outsourced security practitioner with executive level experience, that offers the expert insight of a conventional CISO.
