Description: The past 5-10 years have brought such big changes to the roles and responsibilities of the information security officer (ISO) that many small to medium-sized organizations struggle to define the most critical responsibilities. Guidance tells us that management should designate at least one ISO to be responsible and accountable for implementing and monitoring the information security program. But what does that mean?
 
Join SBS as we discuss the most critical responsibilities of the Information Security Officer and share some insight on what small to medium size organizations can do to fulfill the ISO's most critical responsibilities.
