London Chapter of (ISC)²
With the closing of 2021 the ISC2 London Chapter December event focused on the role of a CISO.
It was quickly apparent that the expectations of a CISO are vast, and the role varied between organisations. Tim Holman’s (2|Sec) presentation questioned the skills and qualifications that were truly required for a CISO role. In conclusion the CISO role was more of an advisory role across the different business units without necessarily ownership of the business function.
The (ISC)2 London Chapter team cordially invites you to attend our 2020 Q4 members meeting. Due to the current restriction in place, this meeting will be held online.
