Would you rather be a partner in a cyber practice or a CISO?

CISOs have a short lifespan. You fall on the sword whenever some bad shit happens, regardless of whether it could be prevented.

Exactly. Security never owns the risk. They should be helping manage it but ultimately identified risks should be passed to the appropriate IT/Business owner if they can’t be mitigated.

Depends on what kind of comp structure and lifestyle you want. Both are high stress jobs, but partners travel a bunch and have more dynamic relationships within their firms whereas CISOs are leading cross-functional cyber teams that manage an ongoing cyber program for just one company. If you like building programs from the ground up, the CISO role is more along the lines. Partners can be multidisciplinary, but deal with more selling and managing client relationships and firm leadership.

Fun fact from a previous CISO I worked with is that the typical CISOs tenure averages about 18-24 months.

Personally, I would rather be a CISO. Depending on the org, you could get a ton of RSUs or other fun instruments in addition to a whopping salary.

That’s interesting about the CISO tenure. Thanks for the write up!

Partner at a Big Four has some unique and compelling retirement benefits not often afforded to CISOs whose tenure is, as mentioned, 18-24 months on average. The trade off is in needing to sell a good sized book of business every year, although most executives spend a lot of their time selling ideas and plans internally too. For me, the fact that my primary job as a partner is leading and developing my people to be future partners is highly rewarding.

Why?

It also depends on compensation, partners make more than CISOs for sure
