The series, originally published on the Corix Partners blog between November 2017 and March 2018, followed the journey of the new CISO, framing it in a “6 days — 6 weeks — 6 months” pattern, and was followed by a number of commentary pieces published later in 2018.

It was later revisited in 2022 in the third series of the Corix Partners cybersecurity transformation podcast.

Ben’s Books of the Month: Two Books by Jean-Christophe Gaillard
RSA Conference
February 05, 2025
In the 113 chapters of this excellent book (The CyberSecurity Leadership Handbook), Gaillard covers all of the core areas security leaders need to know to do their job.

Another great read by Gaillard is The Cybersecurity Spiral of Failure - And How to Break Out of It: Why Large Firms Still Struggle with Cybersecurity and How to Engineer Real Change Dynamics (Leaders Press).

In this quick read, he shows how many firms, even though they have sunk huge sums into their security programs, often do not have much to show for it. He provides many examples of corporate security failures and how others can learn from it. Many of Gaillard's ideas are common sense. Yet, in Corporate America's IT departments, common sense can be quite uncommon.

Onalytica: Interview with JC Gaillard - Top influencer in Cyber Security Strategy, Organisation and Governance
Onalytica
April 24, 2020
"I am passionate about helping the cyber security industry move forward. It is shocking to see cyber security maturity levels so low in many firms in spite of the billions spent – collectively – on technical security products across the last two decades. That’s not because those don’t work; it’s because they are rarely properly deployed or used: Too many organisations have been focusing for too long on non-existent quick wins around cyber security, and on technology, instead of putting people and process first. The roadblocks that have been preventing progress are rooted in culture and governance. And endemic corporate short-termism. Cyber security transformation requires a coherent leadership vision, long-term action and relentless drive to succeed."

The Top Stories from Around the Web - March 2025
Onyxia
March 27, 2025
Many thanks to Onyxia for including a summary of my earlier piece for the Forbes Business Council "Cybersecurity: Are CISOs Fighting The Right Battles?" in their Top Cybersecurity Stories from Around the Web for March 2025

"A Splunk CISO Report 2025 highlights the growing influence of CISOs in the boardroom, but many still struggle with budgets, soft skills, and the demands of their role. Most CISOs come from technical backgrounds and find it challenging to navigate executive environments, often defaulting to technology rather than engaging as business leaders. This disconnect weakens trust with senior executives, who see cybersecurity as just another business risk rather than a purely technical issue. Many CISOs mistakenly believe that logic, reasoning, and financial metrics will win support, but business decisions are often driven by short-term priorities and cognitive biases. Executives already understand cyber threats are inevitable; they don’t need explanations—they need results. Instead of proposing ambitious, costly plans, CISOs should focus on execution excellence, demonstrating impact with existing resources. Building trust through consistent delivery will, in turn, unlock more support and resources over time."

Fortune 500 CISOs Play Musical Chairs
Cybercrime Magazine
August 27, 2021
Surging damages from cybercriminal attacks have driven the salaries of information security officers (CISOs) through the roof, with some companies offering seven-figure salaries to attract the right talent. So why is it so hard to keep CISOs in the job?

Jean-Christophe Gaillard, managing director and founder of management consultancy firm Corix Partners, believes many CISOs have suffered from a lack of role definition and support by company executives that are often all too happy to leave the CISO holding the bag when things go wrong.

“Many CISO positions were created in response to rampant cyber threats across the last decade in industries which never had such roles in place,” he argues.

“They were created tactically with the operational objective of preventing breaches, by senior executives who didn’t really understand the context and the transversal complexity involved in the cyber protection of large organizations.”

This had left CISOs fighting perpetually in reactive mode, and prevented them from developing the leadership and management skills needed to make the CISO role more strategic and high-level.

“Many CISOs struggled with limited resources and constant attacks, and never managed to build a meaningful narrative with management beyond mere firefighting,” Gaillard explains. “They were prevented from developing the softer skills, the personal gravitas, the political acumen, which are key to delivering complex initiatives in large firms.”

Beyond a mere equation between risk appetite, compliance and costs, cybersecurity is becoming a matter of good corporate governance, good ethics, and quite simply – good business. The Board, which is ultimately accountable for cyber resilience, must own it and drive it as a key pillar of any firm Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy

Three Factors Marginalising the Historical Role fo the CISO - Cyber Security Leadership Summit, Berlin, Germany - Nov 12-14 2018
Kuppinger Cole
November 14, 2018
Far from being reinforced by the constant avalanche of cyberattacks and data breaches of the past few years, the CISO role is still rarely a true C-level function and is being marginalised by a number of long term trends: Is the CISO an outdated concept? And what to do about it?

With survey after survey highlighting the toll taken by toolkit proliferation on SOC efficiency and analysts mental health, have we come to the point where organisations have to stop buying more tech for the sake of it and start focusing on the decluttering of their cyber security landscape?

The talk, enhancing the session at Digital Leaders Week with Chris Burtenshaw, CEO, Strata Security, in June 2022, elaborates on the topic and highlights the backbone of the “sipral of failure” around cyber security in many large firms.

Watch a replay of my talk on 14 October 2020 at the Digital Leaders Week here on the Corix Partners YouTube channel

The COVID crisis is presenting most businesses with unprecedented situations – for good, bad or worse. One thing the pandemic has not pushed off the radar, is cyber security. As a matter of fact, the volume of cyber-attacks increased to “alarming levels” according to Interpol during the heart of the crisis. For businesses now totally dependent on remote working, e-commerce or digital supply chains, a serious security breach is the last thing they want… CEOs, CFOs and CIOs should not jump to ready-made conclusions around cyber security ahead of their next budgeting round. The talk is focused on three golden rules for them to consider as they plan ahead.

The end of IT security as we know it
1E
June 28, 2017
We need to improve IT security, while speeding up responsiveness to business demands. All too often, IT Security is viewed as an impediment. It seems that the extreme choices are to have fluid business operations that are wide open to attack or to have highly secure businesses that are slowed down by the weight of complex security measures. Forrester’s call for a “Zero Trust” environment will cripple normal business operations unless the ability to permit access to data and systems is automated to a degree where security doesn’t get in the way of business operations and “fluidity”. As IT professionals, we need to find the middle ground.

Building Meaningful, Data-driven Decisions around Risk
Corix Partners
December 14, 2023
Over the past 20 years, Corix Partners and the consultants in its network have been assisting large firms in building effective risk management models.

All too often, we come across situations where those have been built around qualitative perceptions, leading to large number of meaningless “risks” being handled through “ivory-towered” risk registers in complete isolation from the reality of the business, the threats it faces, or the protective measures that are – or are not – in place.

We believe that Risk can be managed only through the sound understanding of the threats the business is facing, the assets it needs to protect and the level of protection it can afford for those assets.

We have developed a structured, quantitative, data-driven approach rooted in the reality of each asset – its nature, its criticality to the Business and its actual level of protection against Threats – to assist business stakeholders in making actionable decisions around Risk Treatment.

The Way Forward with Cyber Security Target Operating Models: A Plan of Approach for Senior Executives
Corix Partners
November 08, 2021
Many large organisations across all industries face the same challenges around cybersecurity and privacy: Growing regulatory demands, compounded by escalating cyber threats and skills shortages, and a business landscape dominated by the COVID pandemic and its aftermath.

Very often, their cyber security operating model has simply grown organically over the years and needs re-engineering or re-structuring:

- to bring it in line with evolving regulatory frameworks;
- to align it with industry best practices in terms of three lines of defence and risk management;
- and fundamentally, to give senior executives assurance that their business remains adequately protected from cyber threats across people, process and technology levels.

So what are the best ways to move forward with a cyber security operating model re-engineering programme?

Cyber Security: Not just an Equation between Risk Appetite, Compliance and Costs
Corix Partners
November 16, 2020
An update to the 2019 version of this white paper, originally published in collaboration with The Security Transformation Research Foundation.

The COVID crisis has changed very little around the cyber security fundamentals, and established good practices – some known for decades – continue to provide protection, as long as they are properly implemented acrosss the real depth and breadth of the modern enterprise.

But the pandemic has made most businesses and most of us heavily dependent on digital services, which in turn rely entirely on digital trust.

Now more than ever, cyber security – as a cornerstone of digital trust – is becoming a matter of good corporate governance, good ethics, and quite simply – good business.

COVID-19, Remote Working and Cyber Attacks
Corix Partners
April 06, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments to introduce a degree of social distancing which makes people entirely reliant on digital services.

Remote working creates new security imperatives around the way staff collaborate and share information (and around the way cyber security teams need to operate). At the same time, cyber criminals are targeting the disorganisation created by the crisis and negligent practices and cyber threats are at an all times high.

More than ever, good security and privacy practices are key to KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON.

Security Dashboards, Metrics and Data - Management Insights to see through the Maze
The Security Transformation Research Foundation
February 20, 2020
Communicating and driving real engagement with senior stakeholders around cyber security has always been one of the most complex aspects of the CISO role.

As digital estates become increasingly complex, attack surfaces are multiplied, and most organisations face the same challenge: How do we make sense of the data we have to protect ourselves from cyber threats and drive real action around cyber security?

The Security Transformation Research Foundation, together with Corix Partners, Strata Security and a number of experts, have analysed the complex interactions between security data, metrics and dashboards and offer a number of management insights in a whitepaper which can be downloaded here.

Corix Partners
December 03, 2015
The convergence of IoT, Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies is opening up a very large number of possibilities in terms of new digital products and services. But for the short-term, at the intersection of technologies and in the midst of the proliferation of (often immature) use cases, the privacy of consumers has become vulnerable. And fundamental cybersecurity principles – if ignored – will lead to breaches and data losses that may damage further consumer confidence.

Cyber Security Focus to Shift from Risk Management & Firefighting towards Transformation & Execution

Date : July 30, 2020

As we look towards the next decade, the Security industry must pivot towards a clearer execution focus: Security cannot be seen any more JUST as a matter of risk appetite or as a box-checking exercise; equally, constant firefighting is no longer sufficient as the “when not if” paradigm takes root in the boardroom and senior executives demand real results, often in exchange of very significant investments. Security must become a delivery imperative, and where existing maturity levels are low, the CISO must become a true transformational leader.
