CSO
Chief Security Officer
The executive accountable for the overall security of an organization.
The CSO is the executive accountable for the overall security posture of an organization, often spanning both information security and physical or personnel security depending on how the role is scoped. The position translates risk into strategy, owns security policy, and reports posture to senior leadership and the board. Titles vary, and many firms use CISO for an information security focus, sometimes alongside a CSO. The core principle is that a named leader holds enterprise accountability for security.
