Readers of this blog know that I've spent nearly the past decade curating some of the best quotes about information security and related topics. What started as a self-serving repository of good material for my own use eventually grew into this blog. I owe a big thank you to all of those who, over the course of the years, have shared this site with others around them.
However, in the past year, I have to admit that I've been much more active on a different blog, that of the IBM sponsored SecurityIntelligence blog. Which brings me to this post.
Just this week, the IBM site published my 30th article, "Five Signs the CISO Who Got You Here Isn’t the Best One to Get You There," whose topic relates nicely to the evolution of the field of information security -- let's admit, security was never really just an IT issue -- and the evolution of the role of CISO.
Just as businesses have had to evolve in order to thrive, or even just to survive, so must we evolve, as information security professionals, in the face of a changing reality. We now have the attention that we've been asking C-Suite executives and board directors for. We must now step up to fulfill this new role, to meet these new expectations. The stakes are high -- businesses everywhere are getting hammered by attackers, some after a quick buck, others after the company's crown jewels.
In pitching and developing these 30 articles, I've always sought to bring value to the reader, primarily aimed at CISOs or aspiring CISOs. I'm including below the full set of links to these 30 articles (in ascending chronological order). And since IBM's blog doesn't allow for comments, I'm inviting readers everywhere to leave comments on this post instead.
Again, thank you for your support, and for your readership.
