I connected to experts in the field and to other IT leaders across many industries. These forums are so valuable to compare notes and realize that we are all in this together.

As a #CISO, it is critical to build bridges into the c-suite to ensure your program is a success. That said, it seems to be a moving target. Recently I came across a report saying that the average tenure of a #CFO is 4 years, and this newsletter highlights the fact that the transitions are not easy, with 40% of new executives admitting they are underperforming during their transition. 40% is a big number! Of course, this brings short- and long-term costs to themselves and their organizations. What can we do, as #cybersecurity professionals, to help new executives who join our organization?  Subscribe now for more actionable, objective insight on timely topics that directly affect you and your team. #Leadership #Executive #CIO
