The Role of a Virtual CISO in the Modern World

• A virtual CISO, or vCISO, is a job title that
  refers to an individual who has responsibility
  for enterprise cyber security from a management
  and coordination perspective. A vCISO can be an
  employee of the company theyre working with, or
  they can be an external consultant. Either way,
  they manage all aspects of the enterprises
  security programfrom policy creation to vendor
  selection from incident response to training and
  awareness, and more.

Policy Creation

• A vCISO will help create company-wide policies
  related to IT security, including things like
  acceptable use policies, password policies, etc.
  Theyll also help define roles within the
  organization, so everyone knows what their role
  is when it comes to cybersecurity. This aspect
  requires strong communication skills because the
  vCISO will need to communicate regularly with
  stakeholders across the organization about how
  policies affect them specifically (and vice
  versa).
