The Role of Transformational Leadership in Addressing Complex Challenges in the Cybersecurity Landscape

Leadership in the new digital world has become critical in enabling an organization to manoeuvre through the murky waters of cyberspace where information and such technology come into play to determine the landscape. The cyber threat landscape has developed into a dynamic environment as the adversaries streamlined the exploitative vulnerabilities as the organizations advance in the process of being digitized straining the visionary and flexible approach to being proactive in the responses of the shifting dynamics of cyber security. Some of the challenges that have to be overcome in order to build a strong, effective and efficient cybersecurity leadership (CISOs) in the digital landscape involve educating not only ourselves, but the community as a whole in order to protect each and every knock and corner through pro-active risk assessment and management whereby communication and collaboration is the key factor in ensuring development of culture of metamorphose and compliancy. Cyberspace leadership is a multi-dimensional cross functional leadership which needs vision, strategic sense and dedication. The literature prepares a deep dive into the study of these concepts and gives an insight into the dynamic manner of cybersecurity and leadership, in an era when the digital frontier needs dynamic leadership to traverse.
