Compare and contrast the differences between a CISO and CSO. Depending on the organization, the CISO’s position may be combined with physical security responsibilities or may even report to a security manager who is responsible for both logical (information) security and physical security.
Stress to students that a CSO must be capable and knowledgeable in both information security requirements and the “guards, gates, and guns” approach to protecting the physical infrastructure, buildings, and grounds of a place of business.
Recommend that professional experience a CSO possesses often is being a security manager with planning, policy, and budget experience.
