Interacting with these CISO's convinced me that they have the potential to be future CEO's as Business is adopts Cloud Computing for agility and economics. As business moves to the cloud for  computing  IT GRC will be a key driver for acceptance of Cloud Computing. The CISO will be like a large tree protecting the organization from vulnerabilities and ensuring  business continuity in the Cloud. CISO is like a large tree providing protection .
