`Hey,

Note: Brother in case of any queries, just comment in box I would be very happy to assist all your queries

The chief information security officer (CISO) is the executive responsible for an organization's information and data security. While in the past the role has been rather narrowly defined along those lines, these days the title is often used interchangeably with CSO and VP of security, indicating a more expansive role in the organization.

1. Security operations: Real-time analysis of immediate threats, and triage when something goes wrong
2. Cyberrisk and cyber intelligence: Keeping abreast of developing security threats, and helping the board understand potential security problems that might arise from acquisitions or other big business moves
3. Data loss and fraud prevention: Making sure internal staff doesn't misuse or steal data
4. Security architecture: Planning, buying, and rolling out security hardware and software, and making sure IT and network infrastructure is designed with best security practices in mind
5. Identity and access management: Ensuring that only authorized people have access to restricted data and systems
