Cybersecurity is a strategic necessity for business growth, directly impacting trust and resilience. Cyber incidents are now leadership issues with significant operational and reputational consequences. As threats evolve—driven by geopolitical factors and advanced technologies—the role of the CISO has shifted from technical oversight to strategic partnership, focusing on business continuity and stakeholder collaboration.
