Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to think success meant zero breach reports
Perfect shields and walls that never fall
But when the storms hit hard, we'd take the blame
Short tenure cycles, playing the same old game
The board would point fingers when hackers got through
"Prevention failed, we need someone new"

[Chorus]
Redefine success, it's time to change the frame
Identify, communicate, resource, and maintain
Build resilience strong, not perfect walls that break
Short tenures tell us what structures need to remake
Enable the business, don't just defend the gate
Transform the system before it's too late

[Verse 2]
When CISOs leave within eighteen months
It's not about their leadership skills
It's organizational design that's breaking down
Unrealistic goals upon impossible hills
The data shows this pattern industry-wide
It's time to change what's broken inside

[Chorus]
Redefine success, it's time to change the frame
Identify, communicate, resource, and maintain
Build resilience strong, not perfect walls that break
Short tenures tell us what structures need to remake
Enable the business, don't just defend the gate
Transform the system before it's too late

[Bridge]
Use benchmarking data to make your case
Show the board what other companies face
Average tenure metrics speak the truth
Systemic problems need systemic proof
Advocate from inside, be the change you seek
Turn structural weakness into strategic speak

[Verse 3]
From reactive defense to proactive stance
Communication becomes your greatest tool
When breaches happen, lead the response with grace
Resource allocation following a new rule
Success means bouncing back and learning fast
Building systems that are made to last

[Chorus]
Redefine success, it's time to change the frame
Identify, communicate, resource, and maintain
Build resilience strong, not perfect walls that break
Short tenures tell us what structures need to remake
Enable the business, don't just defend the gate
Transform the system before it's too late

[Outro]
The future CISO enables and empowers
Builds trust through transparency in the darkest hours
Success redefined for a changing world
Let structural reform be finally unfurled
