About The Book

Welcome to 100 Pieces of Advice from 100 CISOs
Vol. 1 - The First 100


We asked 100 CISOs:  

If you could share 1 piece of advice with fellow and/or aspiring CISO's, what would that be?


100 Pieces of Advice from 100 CISOs is a compilation of their submissions. This collection includes the perspectives, real-world knowledge, and experiences of different CISOs, from all over the world, serving different industries, and each facing their unique challenges. 

Vol. 1 is the first 100 contributions. Additional contributions will be included in subsequent volumes, allowing this to be a living, growing project that continues evolving over time. We are excited and curious to see how advice changes as new technologies, regulations, and risks become part of our digital environment.

Smart people learn from their mistakes.
Real smart people learn from the mistakes of others.


In addition to the 100 Pieces of Advice, we include an ever-growing reference repository of books, websites, individuals, and other resources to help CISOs advance one’s self-development.

If you are (or have served as) a CISO, we would love to have your participation.
We are always accepting new advice contributions.


We hope to make this publication as valuable and positive an experience for everyone involved.

Contact us with any questions or for additional information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
