CISO: Skills Required for Success Literature Review CISO should first think of themselves as Business professionals and secondly as security specialist. Partake in continuing security education Soft skills Management Problem solving Understand of the security threats and risks Dwayne Whitten(2008),”The Chief Information Security Officer”: An analysis of the skills required for success”, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Page 15-18 30

They suggested the addition of two items: * disaster recovery planning * security breach investigation The interviews were conducted over a two month period between December,2005 and January,2006 CISO: Skills Required for Success Dwayne Whitten(2008),”The Chief Information Security Officer”: An analysis of the skills required for success”, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Page 15-18 31

CISO: Skills Required for Success Conclusion Business strategy was given the high level of importance by the literature and executives, but it was not in the job listing surveys. Many of the organizations searching for new CISOs during the research period didn’t fully understand the importance of including in the business strategy formulation. Organizations currently employing a CISO should consider the duties and responsibilities included in these results as perfunctory in their position requirement.
