Becoming a CISO is a lofty goal for many security and risk pros, and the role brings new sets of challenges. CISOs who accept the wrong opportunities will be forced to conform, rather than excel, and take on outsized liability for the scope of responsibilities.

This report outlines the six most common types of CISOs based on Forrester Research and interactions with security leaders, including the characteristics and competencies of each type.
