Building a Relationship With the CISO
In brief: As a company’s cybersecurity function becomes more developed, the board must learn to work more closely with the top security executive. Originally published in the NACD Director’s Handbook on Cyber-Risk Oversight, this tool guides boards as they seek to establish a relationship with the CISO.
