Boards of directors and executives seem increasingly interested in understanding their companies' security posture.

The first two questions are routine concerns for every security manager and should not generate any sweat, except perhaps if you work at a company like F-Secure where the chair of the board has been working in cybersecurity for more than three decades and knows as much about the industry as anyone.

A key to answering these questions, I found, is reminding myself that board members want to understand, and they also want to help improve my thinking.

The ability to let a board member know you have their back so they can do the same for you is essential for good defense, but it can't be bought or sold like a security solution or service.

That's why these questions have been so useful for me, and I hope they will help you, too.

Perhaps, you've already figured out other questions boards should be asking.
