When a breach happens, there's often pressure to hold someone visibly accountable, and the CISO is the obvious target. It's an understandable instinct, and usually the wrong lesson to take from an incident.
Most breaches aren't the result of one person's failure: they're the result of systemic gaps: under-resourced security programmes, decisions made elsewhere in the business that increased risk, or a culture where flagging concerns wasn't taken seriously until it was too late.
A more useful response than a scapegoat is a genuine post-incident review: what actually broke down, and what would need to change structurally to prevent it happening again. That's a harder conversation, and a far more useful one.
