He highlights the tendency to focus on the next challenge without acknowledging past achievements. Dr. Cole emphasizes the value of appreciating accomplishments and the need to strike a balance between aiming higher and acknowledging current successes. Moreover, he reminds CISOs not to overlook the core essence of cybersecurity, urging them to maintain a strong cybersecurity foundation while embracing their role as Chief Information Security Officers. He underscores the significance of understanding and communicating cybersecurity risks to executives, encouraging a shift in perspective towards cybersecurity as a business enabler rather than just an overhead function.
