Bare minimum cyber knowledge, an air of thinking you're amazing like any C suite member, no empathy, and a desire for big money with no substance

State government is a low bar to entry. A couple SANS courses, certs, a little experience sitting in meetings seems to do the trick.

Why do you want to become a CISO?

Are you ready for the business responsibilities?

Not really just relevant work experience and understanding of the business. A lot of cyber folks didn’t study cyber and got into it on accident. I think having a CISSP though is good for most management level positions.
