"A CISO is now expected to be both technically inclined to the newer technologies as well as aligned to the business. So it is a game a CISO has to balance out very efficiently," Talwar says.

"I believe a CISO role has taken a 360-degree turn. The boards are expecting a CISO to directly work with them in many organizations."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group conducted as part of the CyberEdBoard's Profiles in Leadership series at ISMG's Cybersecurity Summit in New Delhi, Talwar also discusses:

  • Unique cybersecurity challenges of a manufacturing firm;
  • Technologies that excite him as a CISO;
  • Why OT security should be given its due.

Talwar is the global CISO at a manufacturing company, managing information and cyber security for the group. Previously, he has worked with companies including Aon, Adobe and Tower Research Capital. He has more than 24 years of experience in information risk management, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, security engineering, and governance.
