Opening paragraph:
"For businesses today, cyber risk is everywhere. Yet for all the investments they've made to secure their systems and protect customers, companies are still struggling to make cybersecurity a vibrant, proactive part of strategy, operations, and culture. The root cause is twofold: (1) Cybersecurity is treated as a back-office job and (2) most cyber leaders are ill-equipped to exert strategic influence. Given that a cyber leader's average tenure is just 18 months, it's clear that something needs to change."

"Cyber leaders have the monstrous and all-important goal of securing a business, but when companies make big, strategic decisions - about business models, digital strategy, product mix, M&A -
cybersecurity is an afterthought.
"
Another quote from the article (I bolded the last sentence.) The author actually compares the task that CISO's have to the task that CMO's have. Essentially, fighting to convince other C suites/the entire company of the importance of the role (of Marketing or Cybersecurity) - as essential, not extra, or an afterthought.
Time to be proactive instead of reactive!
