Paper 4 - Modelling the security leader - to be published to ISF Members on July 1st. Synopsis: The definition of a security leader continues to suffer from ambiguity, with misaligned expectations between business and incumbent a principal cause of stress and – somewhat inevitably – short tenures and disappointment for both employee and employer. We describe how the role could be better modelled, qualifying its fundamental criteria and providing some guidance on what qualities to look for, and what to not over-rely upon.
