How CISOs Handle An Emergency
Dr. Eric Cole empathizes in this episode of Life of a CISO that a world-class CISO should optimize high-priority items. We’ve all had those days when you start the workday with a “fire.” If the fire continues to spread your life is then consumed by a fire, burning all of your energy, productivity, and passion. Do you want to be a firefighter or a world-class CISO?
If you are struggling and want to achieve your objectives, the most important factor is to invest in yourself. Check your current situation. What do you want to do? What actions are you taking to achieve this goal? If you are ready to be challenged and are tired of feeling like a firefighter during the workday, you must provide yourself with unlimited resources. Investing in yourself is the first step to success.
