The commissioner heralded the launch of the CISO Council as a “revolution in our strategy to counter cyber threats” and an absolute necessity in an era of increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.
“Comprising the brightest minds in cyber security, the council is designed to serve as a “steadfast bulwark against the relentless surge of cyber threats,” he said.
The CISO Council will feature various functional units, including a Regional CERT and Incident Response Force, Audit unit, SOC, Threat Intelligence, and Attack Surface Management units.
The Commissioner underscored that this council’s successful operationalization relies on the active participation and contribution of industry representatives and cyber experts.
In the spirit of this collaborative effort, an open call has been issued to subject matter experts from the industry. Interested parties are encouraged to contribute by reaching out to the council at cisocouncil.tspcc@gmail.com.
