Publisher's Synopsis
Your job as CISO isn't to secure the company.
It's to turn under-informed risk acceptance into fully-informed risk acceptance.
Anything more is zealotry. Anything less is failure.
CISO Impact and Influence helps cybersecurity leaders step into the real work of executive leadership-where your role isn't to enforce controls, but to shape strategy, influence outcomes, and guide others through risk.
If you're feeling the drag of burnout, isolation, or low organizational status, this book offers a path forward.
Not to fight harder-but to lead differently.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Build business-aligned mindsets that set you apart
- Develop peer relationships rooted in curiosity, not control
- Influence decisions without demanding authority
- Shift from contributor to credible C-Suite presence
- Grow in your role without grinding yourself down
You won't find checklists or best-practice platitudes here. You'll find clarity, tools, and sharp insight from someone who's coached hundreds of CISOs and spent decades in the seat himself.
If you're ready to stop leading from the sidelines-and start being seen as a business leader-this is your next step.
