With IT security professionals in the driver's seat, what are they looking for?
They want to know whether the CISO is a leader who can navigate the changing landscape and frame the company's commitment to security overall.
CNA is a business insurance carrier. We exude a professional business culture; that includes wearing a suit and tie every day and, similar to Yahoo, we do not promote working from home. From the outside looking in, you may think we have some disadvantages when trying to attract top security talent, especially millennials.
On the flip side, we have a dynamic security team with great chemistry that values collaboration. In addition, we're in the technology insurance segment and have outstanding rapport with our underwriters and risk-control professionals--even rotating security staffers into business roles.
We have a lot more to offer than many companies where the security group is separate from the business.
