Preparedness to face challenges of data security:    
1. Take Security Analysis Seriously    2. Recognize Sensitive Data:
3. Change your Perspective:        4. Network Security
5. Internet Security            6. Online data Security

Protecting organizations from hackers is difficult, especially when they are machines. Thus, you should turn to extreme automation when it comes to data security- this is the time when security analytics comes into play.
Security analytics helps in understanding what is going on within the company. It also handles complex data landscapes, especially for organizations that have large data centers, several employees that use their own devices, and valuable customers and employees that use vulnerable connected devices. With security analytics, you can quickly gain not only data but also analytics needed to protect your IT resources.

The Chief Security Officer is not responsible for security analysis but for anything related to data.

Protection with Proper implementation tools like firewall, Fortinet sandbox for gateway level security is required.

The best practices for remote working: 

Work from home is a growing trend in today’s work environment, in which employees can easily plug-in from just anywhere they are. A work from home policy is nothing but an agreement between the Company and the employees. The policy defines the expectations, responsibilities, the eligibility of companies to have a regular option of remote working, and others took it up during emergencies. Coronavirus has sparked a revolution in the work from home scenario, many employers have already considered the work from home set up quite seriously, to avoid reduced productivity.

role of CISOs: 

A CISO is responsible for establishing security strategy and ensuring data assets are protected.

The CISO's role is to create a strategy that deals with ever-increasing regulatory complexity, creating the policies, security architecture, processes and systems that help reduce cyber threats and keep data secure. Compliance is a key element of the role, as is understanding risk management.

CISOs are expected to help with regulatory compliance, you should know about PCI, HIPAA, NIST, GLBA and SOX compliance assessments as well. CISOs will understand how the cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving and how that could affect the security risks facing their particular organisation.
