Well, those who have guessed chief information security operators, you are right, the chief information
security officer, as the name suggests, Chief, is the heart and the brain of information security
department of the entire organization.
He's the person responsible for all the security things, all the things that take place in the organization.
So the CISO is the apex of the entire security infrastructure and he develops information security policies
and procedures for a business organization.
So the in case of the upper management of the security department, CISO is the apex and the leader
for the entire security department.
Again, the CISO should have a strong understanding and knowledge of all the security domains, mostly
comprising of cloud identity, access management personnel, that is people, management of people and
technology.
Then the should be an excellent communicator, he or she should have excellent communication skills,
because since he's the top management, since he's the head of the entire department, his job, 90
percent of his job is communicating with his colleagues and other security managers and analysts.
In addition to that, a CISO must be a team player and have a desire to learn more because it's not
like if you have become a CISO, there's no need to learn anything.
It's not like that.
You have to constantly keep your knowledge base updated with the regular current industry tense.
See-Saw is is a critical thinker.
He or she is a logical decision maker who works with the upper management of other departments like
CFO, CTO and CEO, and as well as the CEO of the organization to strategically maintain the security
of the entire organization.
And lastly, leadership.
Yes, a CEO is a great leader since he's the head of the organization.
It's not all about bossing, it's about being a leader.
So the great quality of a chief information security officer is being a great leader and to motivate
the information security people into his job to maintain the overall security posture of our organization.
So this was all for this section of rules in cybersecurity.
I hope you now have a greater understanding of all the different roles and now you might start working
towards your goal if you're not sure whether you should be a security consultant or a security analyst
or penetration test to do some research on your own, start finding out the requirements, the skills,
the qualifications, the knowledge areas that all these rules work on.
And then you can find out your own career if you still have any doubts, if you are open for counseling
sessions and you may post your query in the Q&A section, will try to answer your questions within 48
hours.
So that is it for this section in the next section, we'll move on to more of the core concepts of information
security.
We'll talk more about confidentiality.
We'll talk more about integrity and availability as well.
So this was all for this section.
I hope you enjoyed this.
Keep the momentum going.
