The average time a person remains CISO is only 2 years. Consequently, the CISO role has a poor reputation. This while the shortage of CISO’s is growing. Finding a good match with an organization, and the right role conception are important prerequisites for being successful in this role. It’s important for cyber security in general that this great job improves its reputation, that people stay in this role longer, and that we start to overcome the shortages.

This training for professionals aspiring to a CISO career provides renewed insights into one’s own competencies and provides insights on the use of methodologies, and best practices. It brings about a lasting change about how you view teams, and your role and competencies as a part of the whole process.

Most importantly, it will inspire you to shape your path to the CISO role in a way that suits you, so that you in turn will become a successful CISO.
