This is a big and important job that requires an understanding of a wide array of security topics. Being an effective security leader requires you to get up to speed quickly on information security issues and terminology to build a modern security program. Creating a high performing security team means that you can anticipate what security capabilities need to built to enable the business and mitigate threats.
