Are you continually updating your security and risk strategy?
Security professionals often focus on the threats and breaches that dominate the headlines and not necessarily on those most critical to the organisation
CISOs must strike a balance between what is needed for a business to move forward and a security posture that prevents harm and not progress.
That may be easier said than done. Digital disruption might be moving forward at increasing speed, but the core beliefs wired into our minds often don’t help.
Building trust and resilience
The CISO’s vision for risk and security must be based on an ecosystem that enables trust and resilience, one that balances the need to protect the business with the need to be innovative, creative and competitive.
Success is driven by these principles:
- Shift to risk-based decision making and away from checkbox compliance
- Begin supporting business outcomes rather than solely protecting infrastructure
- Become a facilitator, not a defender
- Determine how information flows; don’t try to control it
- become people-centric and accept the limits of technology
- Invest in detection and response, and stop trying to perfectly protect the organisation
