Today more than ever, CISOs can use their influence to do more than just drive technological change by piercing the silos across the enterprise.

In order to validate cyber investment with a cyber budget holder, one must first understand cyber event types the organization may face and the range of business assets and operations in question.

Conversations around cyber risk management are often centered around estimating both the probability and impact of a risk event.

I'd recommend an approach to cyber risk investment grounded in financial impact analysis, that allows leaders from every business unit to weigh in on what operations and outcomes the company needs to prioritize and determine plausible cyber incidents that could disrupt business operations and their assets.

CISOs now have a golden opportunity to take advantage of their publicity and show the organization that even in times of uncertainty, cybersecurity investment can be managed quickly and bring a much-needed structure in these times.
