CISOs taking a leap of faith

If we're lucky, We'll all have a chance once in our careers to take a risk and
use our skills and experience to do something we truly love. Sometimes the
career risk is low, but sometimes it's truly a leap of faith--one that offers
potentially big rewards as well as the risk of major setbacks.
