DESCRIPTION
Today’s threat landscape requires CISOs to develop and implement a high-performing information security (IS) program. One of the biggest challenges is not letting the torrent of corporate issues interfere with the overall effectiveness of the IT security team. The Top 10 List is developed on the basis of the “Implementing a High-Performing Information Security Program” panel discussion that took place at the EC-Council CISO Executive Summit in December 2011. This list is designed to help CISOs avoid the daily traps that distract their teams from carrying out tactical and strategic functions.
