Rohit Kachroo, CISO - Indiabulls Group
By MYBRANDBOOK
Redefined CIO role
Amidst the landscape of continually evolving cyber security challenges, CISO has to ensure that each thread within the fabric of Cyber Security is being tightly unified and each aspect of cyber threat is minutely monitored, repelled, and timely responded while ensuring the various compliance requirements.
Domain of CISO is progressing in a faster pace from a delivery executive to a strategic business enabler that keep the organization focused, functioning and hand-hold the organization to next level.
Ideally, CISOs have to carry out their responsibility by balancing out the priorities and challenges between the amalgamated accountability as Technologist as well as Strategist.
At last but not the least, CISO cannot succeed without marrying between the top leadership objectives and Cyber Security initiative. CISO must gain top management confidence and involvement in encouraging cultural changes through shared ownership of cyber risk.
Key Priorities
Keeping sensitive customer data secure from the hands of cyber criminals as well as competitors is the foremost objective while adhering various statutory and regulatory compliances. These challenges are providing larger canvas to display the rightful skills aiming to satisfy the boardroom expectations. In order to accomplish those big priorities, following essential areas where as a CISO I am planning to focus on are as follow:
Complete awareness on potential threat for the business is the key element. Every business wants to be the early adopter of the latest technologies to take advantage of first mover but each technology possesses some inherent vulnerability which could potentially harm the business. CISO must take this responsibility to identify and address those vulnerabilities and assure the business for confident move.
Cyber Security must be adopted as part of business operation rather than making it customary event just to obligate the compliance fulfillment.
Harmony must exist between security operations with IT Operations to achieve the security objective.
Tackling the human risk within the security perimeter is the serious challenge which every CISO must find the way to address it. Most of the serious security incidents happen from within the organization whereas we target to restrict it from the outside world. To address this area, security training is the key control mechanism.
“Cyber Security has become the inevitable requirement of every organization and being a conglomerate with fast paced changes embracing the latest technological advancements, this obligation expands manifold in the case of our organization. Growing business dependency on technology and epidemic spread of cyber threat has evolved a very complex situation for Cyber Security team as ensuring cyber security aiming to fulfill the business as well as various regulators interest within the diversified businesses environment is a very daunting exercise.”
