To get the assets needed for CISOs to properly do their jobs, business leaders need to invest time, attention, and money in cybersecurity.

Here are helpful ways that CISOs can discuss cybersecurity with their C-suite and board members.

It's important to phrase cybersecurity conversations in a way that resonates with the leaders.

CISOs are the translators that explain cybersecurity needs to leadership in a way they understand - through real-life examples and business metrics outlining risk.

You are also an advocate for cybersecurity initiatives that protect the company, convincing executives to invest in cybersecurity.

Working up to the board room might not be easy, but with clear and relevant messaging, you can be a champion for a strong cybersecurity strategy.
