How to Improve Working Relationships between the CISO and the C-Suite

In 2020, as the workforce transitioned from in-office to remote work set-ups, cyber security became everyone's concern. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) have become the center of attention because it is their responsibility to keep enterprises running and secure. In many organizations, this means balancing full digital transformation with efficient remote cyber security.
