Hii,Yes you can. At bare minimum, you will need a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security or a related technical field.

As security issues become more dangerous and complex, some employers are starting to specify that CISOs must also have a technical master’s degree with a concentration in IT security. Continued training and professional certifications won’t go amiss.Expect to spend 7-12 years working in IT and security before you begin filling out applications for a CISO position. Try to ensure that at least 5+ years of that experience is spent managing security operations and teams.

Good luck with it. Best wishes!
