10 Skills Every Modern CISO Needs Beyond Technical Expertise

Oct 26, 2026 By Priya In Astra
CISOs are hired for their technical depth and then judged on everything else: can they get a budget approved? Can they calm an executive team at 2 a.m. while the incident is still unfolding?

This article will highlight ten crucial Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) skills.

How CISOs report security to the board: 3 foundational steps

Oct 22, 2026 By Sravish Sridhar In TrustCloud
A CISO can run a genuinely strong security program and still lose the room the moment they start presenting it to the board. They lead with what they know best: threats, vulnerabilities, mean time to detect, a heat map of likelihood and impact. It’s accurate, but it doesn’t tell the board what any of it means for the business.

Oct 20, 2026 By TrustCloud In TrustCloud
Becoming the board-ready CISO: Alyssa Miller on what boards actually want from security, and a three-part framework any CISO can use to align security with business objectives.

CISO Risk Intel Brief: Edge Zero-Days, Identity Residual Risk, and Q4 Control Priorities

Sep 30, 2026 By Andrea Mazzarini In Veracode
This briefing covers two distinct horizons. The past week (23–30 September 2026) is a cluster of material, actively exploited edge and enterprise-application flaws, plus confirmed identity and third-party incidents. The past month (31 August–30 September 2026) shows those events as part of a faster pattern: perimeter appliances as the preferred initial-access class, build systems as ransomware feedstock, non-human identity as a wipe and extortion primitive, and overlapping EU and U.S.

3 Things CISOs Need to Know About Microsoft's ISOC Announcement

Sep 23, 2026 By Micah Heaton In BlueVoyant
