CISOs should also look at the business strategy and where the business intends to go and find ways to turn cybersecurity into a competitive advantage.
While businesses aim for different outcomes, one goal that the business typically prescribes for cybersecurity is business continuity.
Transforming the organizational mindset to recognize cybersecurity as a fundamental business function is imperative.
To create the right security outcomes, CISOs must consider the strategic goals the business wants to achieve, as well as the associated risks.
Business continuity: Strong cybersecurity protocols guarantee that a company can maintain its operations despite cyber threats.
Many providers can be perceived as equally capable, and the cybersecurity angle is often what influences CISOs when choosing which vendor to work with.
