Cybersecurity Prioritization & Justification
Cybersecurity teams must navigate the tradeoffs on security investments by determining which controls are worth the investment, and effectively communicate their decisions. Don’t just focus on compliance or the latest threats; prioritize your resources based on their impacts to the business and ROI for reducing risk.
Aligning Security Initiatives
Cybersecurity teams today prioritize and communicate their security initiatives by aligning to an existing controls framework and any relevant regulatory requirements. However, they fail to incorporate any notion of business value or impact and do not yield effective programs.
Prioritization Challenges
By assessing risk in financial terms, teams are armed with a roadmap for prioritizing a response. They can tackle the areas that represent the biggest risk to the firm first. Current approaches that rely on existing controls and frameworks often make it difficult to gain business buy-in.
Communication Issues
Executives must provide guidance to management and security teams on what levels of loss exposure is acceptable for various forms of loss in order to build effective security programs.
Make Better Cybersecurity Decisions and Communicate More Effectively
Organizations can optimize cybersecurity budgets by identifying which options provide the largest cost reductions while minimizing the impact to risk exposure.
Prioritize and Communicate your Roadmap
Cybersecurity teams are faced with a myriad of investment decisions and tradeoffs regularly. A consistent, programmatic and defensible approach to making decisions and setting the program roadmap significantly aids in both managing and communicating their program effectively.
