Dr. Eric Cole continues his
discussion of the path to becoming a CISO in this episode of Life
of a CISO. The path to becoming a world-class CISO begins with more
than just technical and strategic abilities. What you need is a
world-class CISO’s approach, focus, and attitude. Your mentality is
the most prevalent obstacle to achieving your dream job. “I don’t
think I’m CISO material,” said one student, according to Dr. Cole.
The issue preventing you from gaining your dream CISO job is your
lack of self-confidence. Believe in yourself, and success will
follow.
Dr. Cole discusses the five
challenges, his own insights, and suggestions for how to improve in
each area. The incapacity to communicate is the most difficult
challenge to overcome. Listening is more important than speaking
when it comes to good communication.
Tune in to this week’s
episode to learn about the other obstacles that prevent a CISO from
becoming world-class.
