Best Practices When Deposing a Chief Information Security Officer

As cyber threats and significant cyber incidents become increasingly common, more attorneys are interacting with organizations’ technical representatives in ensuing conflicts and litigations. To be best equipped when deposing Chief Information Security Officers (CISO), it is essential for attorneys to understand this role's scope and be confident in the deposition's goals and best practices. For attorneys, knowing how to ask the right questions regardless of technical knowledge in preparatory research and depositions will give them the best tools to represent their clients. Equally, CISOs and their boards will find it useful to know what the security executives can expect in a deposition and how they can prepare for them.
