Traditional cybersecurity models are failing not because of technical shortcomings but due to structural organizational flaws. CISOs are held accountable for outcomes shaped by decisions made before security is ever consulted. Risk is created at the decision point—vendor selection, architectural choices, compressed timelines—not during implementation. When security is engaged late, it can only negotiate with risk rather than manage it. The fix isn't better tooling or heavier process; it's distributing risk ownership to decision-makers, involving security early, and aligning authority with accountability across the organization.
