Given my situation, I am thinking a lot about what makes a good ciso. I don’t think I was particularly good, but that’s another story.

I am curious what the community thinks makes a good CISO, at least from one narrow perspective. Do you think CISOs should be:

Deeply technical
35.8%
Marginally technical, mainly business
60.6%
All business, technical stuff if what employees are for
3.7%

Probably a pair of people, one business, one technical.

But overall I'm frustrated with business, law, and finance. They have this nasty habit of folding in on themselves and becoming an arms race that sucks all the air out of the room.
