Information Security and Records Management: Are They a Good Marriage?

Historically, in order to succeed in the role of CISO, strong technical skills have been required. A current trend is to meld managerial/business-oriented roles, such as records management, under the CISO. Trends that blend more than one function such as records management and information security are provoking debate among security professionals who are concerned that information security is no longer a primary focus.

OUTCOMES: Understand what knowledge and skills are needed for current and emerging job descriptions * Debate if additional business skills are needed for a CISO * Network with other CISOs who have successfully blended skills
