As a seasoned CISO transitioning into the role of a Chief Security Officer (CSO), I'm keen to gather insights from peers who have navigated this path. The evolution from focusing primarily on cyber and information security to overseeing a broader security mandate including physical security, fraud prevention, and other aspects of organizational safety, presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Could anyone who has made a similar transition share their experiences on the key differences in daily responsibilities, strategic focus, and stakeholder engagement between the two roles? What areas should one particularly emphasize or prepare for in this expanded role to ensure a seamless transition and continued effectiveness in safeguarding organizational assets and interests?
