Promotion and Events SpecialistIn today’s connected world, information security has emerged as a leading concern for individuals, organizations, and governments alike. As businesses digitalize rapidly and become more reliant on remote work, the potential for cyberattacks has increased dramatically.

Information Security, once confined to an IT function or a specialist role, has now become a strategic necessity, and the role of the chief information security officer (CISO) has become increasingly vital. The modern CISO must be a business leader, motivating collaboration across the organization and driving solutions that enable the company to manage evolving risk and achieve its business goals.
If you want to discover powerful ways to build an enterprise-wide information security culture, the nine-month Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Program from NYU Tandon School of Engineering is for you.
