CISOs aren't the only heads that roll.

Security incidents will often directly impact platform and infrastructure teams, who's leadership and EMs heads roll as well.

If there is a very public breach, literally everyone director upwards will inevitably get purged over the 12 months post breach.

I've worked on enough cases like this to see it happen.

If it doesn't affect stock price, though, then the CEO, board, and shareholders are all incentivized to keep IS costs low, and ignore any costly security recommendations.
