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.

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.
