CISOs: Quantifying cybersecurity for the board of directors
2020-04-21 05:30

CISOs should focus on shifting the conversation from cybersecurity to cyber risk and provide concise, quantitative responses to the board's questions without the use of overly technical terms or concepts.

Quantifying cybersecurity for the board of directors.

If an organization prioritizes the risk of loss of intellectual property, the CISO will define this as a key risk item and help their colleagues understand how the cybersecurity program is aligned to managing this risk.

CISOs must present at a high-level the types of actions necessary to remediate key risks to bridge the gap between perceived risk in the boardroom and the actual on-network conditions.

If CISOs are unable to communicate and unable to quantify their cybersecurity program, priority projects don't get funded which leads to increased breach risk.
