CISO Leadership & Security Culture

Being a CISO is a governance job, a technical job, and a burnout-risk job all at once — and most of the industry conversation still treats it as just the second one. This page collects our coverage of the CISO role itself: the structural pressures on the position, and the security-culture work that determines whether a security programme actually holds up under a real incident.

A Room Where the CISO Isn’t the Only One in the Role

Every Next IT Security edition is built around closed-door conversations between people who carry this exact role — no vendor pitches, no audience of subordinates. If the pressure described above sounds familiar, this is the room for it.
