In the 1990s, when organizations thought it wise to establish the role of Chief Information Security Officer<\/a> (CISO), it was mainly about IT specialists managing cyber risks<\/a>. Over time, CISOs tackled broader issues, but their main focus still revolved around preventing cyber breaches and meeting compliance.<\/p>\n

However, available data suggest the CISO role is undergoing a dramatic shift due to several factors.<\/p>\n

Gartner predicts 45% of CISOs will oversee more than just cybersecurity by 2027<\/a>. And 86% of CISOs agree<\/a> their role has evolved in many ways since they started, according to a Splunk report \u2014 turning them into strategic business leaders, pushing them to report directly to CEOs instead of CIOs.<\/p>\n

Can CISOs adapt to these expanding responsibilities, or are they taking on too much?<\/p>\n

To answer this question and more, we caught up with Greg Crowley, CISO at <\/strong>eSentire<\/strong><\/a>, to shed more light on the evolving landscape of the CISO’s responsibilities.<\/p>\n
