77 MORE great ideas for running a security program

Practical ideas from CSOs and subject matter experts of all sorts

Last year's collection of great ideas was so well received that we decided to do an encore.

We've scoured our archives for ideas from CSOs, academics, consultants and philosophers, for concepts big and small. What these ideas have in common is the ability to elevate your department and your career.

So grab your highlighter, start each day by reading until you hit an idea that challenges you, mark it, and try it. Rinse and repeat.
